Footnotes
Provenance: Formerly at Elston Hall, Nottinghamshire, the Darwin family home from 1680 until just after the Second World War. The Francis Darwin to whom the copy of Krause's Erasmus Darwin was presented by Charles Darwin, was most presumably Francis Rhodes Darwin (1825-1920), who inherited Elston Hall in 1850. The house, where Erasmus was born, is illustrated in Krause's biography; by descent to a member of the Darwin family.
