Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Development of Darwin's theory - Barnacles

A single barnacle species was left to describe, and Darwin began dissecting with the assistance of Hooker who was now at Kew. To compare this with other species he borrowed specimens, and soon became involved in a much needed comprehensive study of these peculiar creatures that had recently been found to be crustaceans rather than molluscs. To Hooker such an exhaustive study might dampen Darwin's tendency to speculative theorising, and to Darwin it would establish his credentials. Dev ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Darwin from Insectivorous plants to Worms - Recollections

They visited Hensleigh and Fanny to celebrate the announcement that Frank's wife Amy was five months pregnant, and Charles and Emma would shortly become grandparents. Darwin decided to leave a posthumous memoir for his family, and on Sunday 28 May 1876 he began Recollections of the Development of my mind and character. He found this candid private memoir easy going, covering his childhood, university, life on the Beagle and developing work in science. A section headed "Religious Belief" opened just before his marriage, and frankly dis ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Darwin — Wedgwood family - The first generation

Darwin — Wedgwood family - Josiah Wedgwood. Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a noted potter and a friend of Erasmus Darwin; in 1780 on the death of Josiah Wedgwood's long-time business partner Thomas Bentley, Wedgwood turned to his friend Erasmus Darwin for help in running the business. As a result of the close association that grew up between the Wedgwood and Darwin families, one of Josiah's daughters later married Erasmus' son Robert. One of the children of that marriage, Charles Darwin, also married a ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Emma Darwin - Biography

Emma Wedgwood was born in 1808 at the family estate of Maer Hall, Maer, Staffordshire, the youngest of six children of Josiah Wedgwood II and his wife Bessy (Elizabeth). She grew up in a wealthy manufacturing family as her grandfather Josiah Wedgwood had made his fortune in pottery, and like others who were not part of the aristocracy they were nonconformist, belonging to the Unitarian church. Charles Darwin was her first cousin; their shared grandparents were Josiah Wedgwood and his wife Sarah; and as the Wedgwood and Darwin families were closely allied, she had ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Erasmus Alvey Darwin - Education

He attended Shrewsbury School 1815–1822 as a boarder, and as a frail and studious boy his interest was in books and plants rather than sports. His mother died in 1817 and he was joined at the school by his brother Charles in September 1818. Eras became bored with the classical curriculum and took an interest in chemistry, with Charles as his assistant. They had a garden shed at their home fitted out as a laboratory. In 1822 Eras went on to a medical course at Christ's College, Cambridge. When it came to be time for his one year exte ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - James Mackintosh - Early life

Mackintosh was born at Aldourie, 7 miles from Inverness. Both his parents were from old Highland families. His mother died while he was a child, and his father was frequently abroad, so he was brought up by his grandmother, and then schooled at Fortrose Seminary academy. He went in 1780 to King’s College, Aberdeen, where he made a lifelong friend of Robert Hall, later a famous preacher. In 1784 he began to study medicine at Edinburgh University. He participated to the full in the intellectual ferment, but did not quite neglect hi ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Wooden spoon award - The academic wooden spoon at Cambridge University

The wooden spoon at Cambridge, England was originally associated with the Cambridge University mathematical tripos exams, and was a kind of booby prize awarded by students to their fellow student ranked lowest in the final exams. The custom dates back at least to the early 19th century, if not before, and continued until 1909. From 1910 onwards the results have been given in alphabetical rather than score order, and so it is now im ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Development of Darwin's theory - Married life

In 1839, now married to Emma and settled in foggy London, Darwin continued to look to the countryside for information and began a Questions & Experiments notebook with ideas that would have seemed bizarrely mundane to the "philosophical" scientists of the time. He printed Questions about the Breeding of Animals and sent them out to gentlemen farmers, asking for information on animal husbandry from their nurserymen and gamekeepers on how they crossed varieties or selected offspring. Of only three who responded one simply fou ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Wooden spoon award - The wooden spoon in sport

Wooden spoon award - Rowing. "Spoons" are also awarded to Cambridge college rowing crews who go down four places in a Bumps race, something usually to be avoided. In theory, such a crew is allowed to paint a wooden spoon in their club colours and write their names on it as a trophy of their "achievement": this is rarely done but occasionally done by the less serious "beer boats" in the May (summer) Races ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Development of Darwin's theory - Background

Charles Darwin became a naturalist at a point in the history of evolutionary thought when theories of Transmutation were being developed to explain discrepancies in the established faith based explanations of species. He considered these problems at first hand during the Voyage of the Beagle. On its return in 1836 his ideas developed rapidly. His collections and writings established him as an eminent geologist and collector. Darwin read Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population in the context of his findings about species ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Development of Darwin's theory - First writings on the theory

In January 1842 Darwin sent a tentative description of his ideas in a letter to Lyell, who was then touring America. Lyell, dismayed that his erstwhile ally had become a Transmutationist, noted that Darwin "denies seeing a beginning to each crop of species". Illness was a continuing problem, and as his books on Coral Reefs and Fish reached print he and Emma left London on 18 May, visiting her parents at Maer Hall then moving on to Shrewsbury on 15 June for rest and quiet. Here Darwin formulated a 35 page '"Pencil Sketch"' of his theor ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Development of Darwin's theory - Renewal of work on Species

By September 1854 his second volume of Barnacles had been printed and dispatched, and he turned his attention to Species, telling his cousin William Darwin Fox that he planned to "view all facts that I can master..to see how far they favour or are opposed to the notion that wild species are mutable or immutable". All available information was examined for "hostile facts" and discussed with Hooker, who had resisted what he called Darwin's "Elastic theory" ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Erasmus Alvey Darwin - Miss Martineau

In May 1834 Charles got a letter from his sisters recommending Poor Laws and Paupers Illustrated in pamphlet sized parts by the fiercely independent literary Whig Miss Harriet Martineau, and telling him that "Erasmus knows her & is a very great admirer & every body reads her little books & if you have a dull hour you can, and then throw them overboard, that they may not take up your precious room." In October 1836 after Charles returned from the voyage he stayed with his brother in a bustling London, where Erasmus e ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Erasmus Alvey Darwin - Retirement

In the summer of 1829 he gave up medicine as his father Doctor Robert Waring Darwin considered that Erasmus's "delicate frame" could not withstand a career "involving, if successful, a severe strain on body & mind" and decided to pension him off. Eras was "very agreeable" to retiring at the age of 26 and planned to live in London with "an air cushion in his rooms" to allow a visiting Charles to stay with him. The brothers visited the Birmingham Music Festival for what Charles described as the "most glorious" experience. That Christmas Ch ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Darwin from Insectivorous plants to Worms - Death

Emma wanted a quiet Easter, so Laura and Henrietta left on 4 April, but on the 4th and 5th Darwin suffered attacks, noting "much pain". He continued to note sporadic attacks and took amyl nitrate antispasmodic. George arrived to help Frank and Jackson (the butler) move Darwin. After signs of recovery he had agonising pain before midnight on 19 April and a flustered Emma gave him brandy. He whispered "My love, my precious love... Tell all my children to remember how good they hav ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Erasmus Alvey Darwin - Uncle Ras

While Charles Darwin's illness made him increasingly reclusive after his move to Downe, he would still visit Erasmus as one of his relatives and friends who provided safe havens. One such occasion was the Great Exhibition in 1851 when the family came to London and stayed with "Uncle Ras". By 1852 Erasmus had become a confirmed bachelor, languid and melancholic, living alone except for servants, but at parties his "playful wit" made him the universal solvent. That summer he stayed at Down House with the family, and delighted his nephews and nieces who he loved dearly, and who adored him. He romped with them, getting down o ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - James Mackintosh - Later life

He courteously declined the offer of Perceval to resume political life under the auspices of the dominant Tory party, though tempting prospects of office in connection with India were opened up. He entered parliament in July 1813 as a Whig. He was the member for Nairn, and afterwards for Knaresborough, till his death. In London society, and in Paris during his occasional visits, he was a recognized favourite for his genial wisdom and his great conversational power. On Mme de Staël's visit to London he was the only Englishman capable of repr ...

Hensleigh Wedgwood: Encyclopedia II - Darwin from Insectivorous plants to Worms - Worms

Darwin again took up his work on worms. As ever, he corresponded widely, encouraging and helping fund research and collecting anecdotes. Emma supported his commitment, saying that "if it was a condition of his living, that he sh[oul]d do now work, she was willing for him to die". For their autumn break they visited Horace and Ida in Cambridge, and to spare him the stress of getting between London stations and changing trains Emma arranged a private railway carriage ...
