The most fascinating is the derogatory list of reasons Charles Darwins Dad gave in August 1831 about him not going on the Beagle. The worst are That they must have offered to many others before me, the place of Naturalist and from its not being accepted there must be some serious objection to the vessel or expedition and that it would be a useless undertaking and the interesting 1609 shopping list from Galileo which include Lentils, white chickpeas, rice, raisins, spelt. Sugar, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, spices, jams. soaps, oranges and Wool.
