See John van Wyhe, A delicate adjustment (2014), which, more importantly, shows how the idea of a 'problem of the origin of species' came about only after the publication of Darwin's Origin of species (1859) and was almost immediately projected anachronistically into the past and still is.

Chambers R. 3 Hall Place St John's Wood

Robert Chambers (1802-1871), publisher, naturalist, and author of the anonymous Vestiges (1844). It has often been claimed that the hostile reception of this evolutionary popular science book caused Darwin to put away his 1844 essay (CUL-DAR7) and so avoid/delay publishing his theory of evolution. In fact, Darwin had already finished the 1844 essay and returned to work on his Beagle publications before Vestiges was published. It had no effect on Darwin's publication trajectory or timing or resolve. This idea is a 20th century invention. See Mind the gap (2007) and Dispelling the darkness (2013), chapter 10. It remains an unanswerable fact that 'Darwin's delay' is a mid-20th century innovation. Neither Darwin himself, nor his contemporaries or even writers for 70 years after his death, described the 20 years of work on his theory as a delay or postponement. Nor was there any notion of excessive fear of reactions or any dark secret in the story of Darwin's life and work.

Fox Mrs 3 Kensington Park Gardens East

"Mrs Fox" is in London directories 1847-1857. Thomas Carlyle described a fellow dinner guest to his wife Jane on 5 Sept. 1857: "a big elderly Lady called 'Mrs Fox'—I cd not guess who: coarse of figure; face fat blackbrowed, profile quite semicircular, but much a gentlewoman in manners, and plentiful in gossip of Circles of political Clubs, and the like". The editors of Carlyle Letters Online suggest this could be the Mrs. Fox of 3 Kensington Park Gardens.

call both ways 38 Onslow Sqr

Contrary to widespread belief since the 1960s-1970s, he did not seek a companion to join him on the Beagle, but "a person qualified to examine the land; while the officers, and myself, would attend to hydrography". The frequently repeated claim that he feared he might commit suicide without a companion is a modern invention. Similarly, ship's surgeons at the time were not the official naturalist as commonly claimed since this view arose. See John van Wyhe, '"my appointment received the sanction of the Admiralty": Why Charles Darwin really was the naturalist on HMS Beagle'. (2013).

Samuel William Leonard (c.1778-1873), painter and lithographer who created illustrations of objects as seen through the microscope. This entry comes from Darwin's request in Darwin to W. B. Carpenter [Oct.–Dec. 1846]. Correspondence vol. 3. In late 1846 Darwin still planned to publish descriptions of marine invertebrates from the Beagle voyage as announced in an 1838 prospectus. (Freeman 1977, p. 26.) Since its beginning, Darwin's species work had been a background project while the Beagle work was his 'day job'. Here, more than two years after drafting his 1844 essay on species (CUL-DAR7), Beagle work was still projected to be on the table for some time to come. Yet, as the editors of the Correspondence noted, both the invertebrate work and the "general sketch" of the Zoology of the Beagle volumes, were never realised as the funding ran out, and of course the barnacle research programme came to absorb Darwin's attention.

Salt-sea, artificial, prepared by Bolton 146 Holborn Bars in Athenaeum 1854. p. 1401 [6] for enough to make a gallon imperial.—

William Bolton, dealer in chemicals. Lloyd 1854. As part of the research for his theory of evolution, Darwin experimented with how long the seeds of various species of terrestrial plants could survive (and float) in salt water and still germinate. This showed one way that species can be naturally dispersed by ocean currents to new lands. It had been assumed that plants living on distant islands must have been created there. These experiments required making large quantities of artificial sea water. See Darwin, 1855. Does sea-water kill seeds? Gardeners' Chronicle (26 May): 356-7. Text and Origin of species, pp. 358ff.

Wallace A. R. Ternate. Hamilton, Gray & Co Singapore
5. Westbourne Grove Terrace (W.)

Alfred Russel Wallace, naturalist, traveller and collector. Ternate is the island within reach of New Guinea where Wallace conceived of and wrote his independent version of evolution by natural selection in 1858. The 1980s conspiracy theory that Darwin did not receive this 'Ternate essay' when he recorded doing so was finally disproven in van Wyhe and Rookmaaker, A new theory to explain the receipt of Wallace's Ternate Essay by Darwin in 1858. (2012)
Hamilton, Gray & Co. was Wallace's shipping agent in Singapore (1854-1862), essentially his home base during his eight years of collecting in Southeast Asia.
The original story of Wallace, told by himself, his contemporaries and subsequent generations of writers was radically transformed by amateurs, cranks and conspiracy theorists in the mid-20th century into that of a cheated-victim-hero. Despite these illegitimate origins, this pop science version of Wallace as a 'forgotten' victim and overlooked genius whose sad fate needs to be rejuvenated became all-pervasive. The historical Wallace and a host of myths are revealed in John van Wyhe, Dispelling the darkness (2013), The Annotated Malay Archipelago (2015), The impact of A. R. Wallace's Sarawak Law paper reassessed (2016), Wallace in the light of historical method (2020), etc. See Wallace Online for his complete works. Wallace is listed four more times below.
