We entered a large room, and shortly after King George and Queen Charlotte came in. I was much disappointed: I expected to see a great warrior; but he was an old man that could neither throw a spear nor fire, a musket. Queen Charlotte was very old too: she was bent with

was accompanied by a virtuous life. Should he mention any name it would be that of Newton. Who would say on reading his works that a philosopher must be irreligious. Let him impress on the mind of the young scientific student, that that is not knowledge, but a semblance of it, which does not produce humility; the more a man knows the more he becomes convinced of his ignorance, and is induced to look up with greater reverence to his Creator and his God.

I was very intimate with Whitley2, who was afterwards Senior Wrangler, we used continually to take long walks together. He inoculated me with a taste for pictures good engravings, of which I bought some. I frequently went to the Fitzwilliam Gallery, my taste must have been fairly good, for I certainly

the University. But he always kept up the closest connection with the friends of his own standing; at our frequent social gatherings — at breakfast, wine, or supper parties — he was ever one of the most cheerful, the most popular, the most welcome. He was very fond of riding, he sometimes hunted, but he never boated, or played cricket. He had a great liking for first-class line engravings — especially for those of Raphael Morghen M ller; he spent hours in the Fitzwilliam Museum in looking over

and especially of engravings, and went often to the Fitzwilliam. But this taste like that of poetry died out in later years from want of opportunity . His love of pictures of a young man must show is almost a proof that he must have had an appreciation of a portrait as work of art not as a likeness. Yet he often sneered in fun at portrait painters and said a photograph was worth any number of pictures as if he were blind to the artistic quality in a painted portrait. But this was generally

played a little on the flute. Once I had the triumph of beating him in one of our musical examinations. Besides his love of music, we learn that Darwin had a taste for pictures and good engravings, in the study of which he spent much time in the Fitzwilliam Museum. When his son William came up to Christ's, by good fortune he obtained the rooms formerly occupied by Darwin, and we learn that the engravings which Darwin had purchased while up here were handed over to his son, and a second time hung on

, 'How's your backbone?' He often spoke of a feeling of coldness or shivering in his back on hearing beautiful music. Besides a love of music, he had certainly at this time a love of fine literature; and Mr. Cameron tells me that he used to read Shakespeare to my father in his rooms at Christ's, who took much pleasure in it. He also speaks of his great liking for first-class line engravings, especially those of Raphael Morghen and M ller; and he spent hours in the Fitzwilliam Museum in looking over the

for the ordinary degree, but without consciously profiting by them. He then felt, and afterwards believed, that 'Paley's Evidences' and Euclid were the only parts of the academical course the study of which had any effect on his mind. But these things filled only a small part of his life. He seems to have been overflowing with spirits and energy, which spent themselves in a crowd of varied interests.

long walks together. He inoculated me with a taste for pictures and good engravings, of which I bought some. I frequently went to the Fitzwilliam Gallery, and my taste must have been fairly good, for I certainly admired the best pictures, which I discussed with the old curator. I read also with much interest Sir Joshua Reynolds' book. This taste, though not natural to me, lasted for several years, and many of the pictures in the National Gallery in London gave me much pleasure; that of Sebastian

rejoicing enthusiasm. Entomology, riding, shooting in the fens, suppers and card-playing, music of King's Chapel, engravings at the Fitzwilliam Museum, walks with Professor Henslow all combined to fill up a happy life. He seems to have infected others with his enthusiasm. Mr. Herbert relates how, while on a reading-party at Barmouth, he was pressed into the service of the science as my father called collecting beetles: He armed me with a bottle of alcohol, in which I had to drop any beetle which struck

the foundation of man's life work is usually laid then. Darwin, as he records, worked to the utmost during the voyage from the mere pleasure of investigation and from his strong desire to add a few facts to the great mass of facts in Natural Science. He returned to England in October 1836 and two months later, on December 13, Darwin settled again in Cambridge, but only for three months. He took lodgings in Fitzwilliam Street which unlovely collection of lodging-houses deserves at least some

He took lodgings in Fitzwilliam-street which unlovely collection of lodginghouses deserves at least some tablet to record the fact and spent his time in unpacking and distributing the collections which he had made on his South American voyage. He was apparently a good deal in college, and was evidently made a Member of the Room, for his name occurs frequently in the Combination Room wine book
