J.P. for Kent. The famous naturalist. It had been intended that he should be trained to follow his father's profession of medicine, but it failed to attract him. 'Anatomy disgusted him, the operating theatre ("before the blessed days of chloroform") horrified him, and "Materia Medica" left on his mind nothing but the memory of cold, breakfastless hours on the properties of rhubarb.' Neither did pure science attract him: the teaching of geology made him determine that whatever else might be his fate, he would not be a geologist. Later on he became friendly with Dr Grant, who was afterwards Professor of Zoology at University College, and eventually became attracted by the subject of the seashore fauna. After two years at Edinburgh, the idea of the medical profession having been abandoned, Darwin decided that the church should be his goal, and it thus becoming necessary that he should obtain an English university degree he came to Cambridge. His friendship with Henslow, Professor of Botany, had a very great influence on his after life; and the reading of Humboldt's Personal Narrative, fired his enthusiasm for natural history and travel. In 1831 he took up the study of geology, and after attending Prof. Sedgwick's lectures he accompanied him on a geological tour in North Wales. A few months later, thanks to Henslow's interest, he joined the 'Beagle' expedition to South America, where he collected many important geological specimens. This voyage had the greatest influence on his subsequent career. 'He left England untried and almost uneducated for science, he returned in 1836 a successful collector, a practised and brilliant geologist, and with a wide knowledge of zoology gained at first hand in many parts of the world.' Coming back to Cambridge he lived for some months at 22, Fitzwilliam Street, a fact which is commemorated by a plaque affixed there. 'And thus it was that within a year of his return he could begin his first note-book on evolution—the first stone, in fact, of the Origin of Species.' Secretary to the Geological Society, 1838-41: temporary retirement owing to ill-health. Gave definite written shape to his theory of evolution by natural selection, 1844. 'Induced by Lyell, the geologist, to write out results of his experiments, 1856.' Received a MS. from the naturalist, Wallace, containing a theory of the origin of species identical with his own, 1858. From this many developments occurred which resulted in his writing several of his most important works, 1859-81. In the domain of botany he resuscitated Sprengel's theory of the fertilisation of plants, and published various botanical books, particularly during 1875-80: amongst the chief of which are Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of H.M.S Adventure and Beagle…; Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, which he edited; The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs; On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, of which the first edition (250 copies) was sold on the day of publication. Married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, granddaughter of the founder of the Etruria works. He 'always retained a love for Cambridge and happy memory of his life here.' (Emma Darwin, II. 171.) Died Apr. 19, 1882, aged 73, at Down House, Bromley, Kent. Buried in Westminster Abbey. Portrait in the Hall, Christ's College. Father of Francis (1866), George H. (1863), Horace (1868) and William E. (1858); brother of the next. (D.N.B.; Shrewsbury Sch. Reg.; Biography by his son, Francis.)
