In the early part of 1839, Mr. Darwin married his cousin, Miss Emma Wedgwood, daughter of Mr. Josiah Wedgwood of Maer Hall, and after a short residence in London he settled in 1842 at Down House,1 near Down, in Kent, for the rest of his days. Down is a quiet little village near the borders of Surrey, three or four miles from the Orpington Station on the South Eastern Railway, between London and Hastings.

After a short visit at home, he went to London to arrange for the disposal of his collections; then in December (1836) he moved to Cambridge, where he was occupied with his collections, in writing his journal, and in preparing some geological papers. Early in 1837 he was back in London lodgings, where he remained for two years, until his marriage. On 29 Jan. 1839 he married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, the daughter of his uncle, Josiah

Après son mariage, Darwin se fixe à Londres, où il mène une vie fort retirée, évitant les réunions mondaines et toute perte de temps.

He also varied his work with readings of the poets, Wordsworth and Coleridge delighting him particularly, while Milton's Paradise Lost was, as formerly, a favourite. In January, 1839, Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, and began wedded life at 12 Upper Gower Street, London. His principal work now was upon coral reefs, upon which he devoted twenty months of hard, unremitting labour. He took an active interest in

En épousant ce jeune vieillard que minait une maladie organique, elle se vouait sciemment à une vie de soins attentifs, et tous ceux qui l'ont connue ont admiré son dévouement. Retiré avec elle dans le petit village de Down, aux portes de Londres, il dut à sa tendresse, à sa sollicitude toujours en éveil, de prolonger sa vie jusqu'à un âge que les médecins ne supposaient pas qu'il pût atteindre.

They resided at 12, Upper Gower Street until September 14th, 1842, when they settled at Down. The few graceful and touching words in which Francis Darwin, in the Life and Letters, alludes to his father's married life show how deep is the debt of gratitude which the world owes to Mrs. Darwin; for without her constant and loving care it would have been impossible for Darwin to have

She likes the actual field and house better than I; the house is just situated as she likes for retirement, not too near or too far from other houses, but she thinks the country looks desolate. I think all chalk countries do, but I am used to Cambridgeshire, which is ten times worse. Emma is rapidly coming round. She was dreadfully bad
