  FitzRoy, Sir Charles Augustus (1796 - 1858) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online
FITZROY, Sir CHARLES AUGUSTUS (1796-1858), governor-general, was born on 10 June 1796, the eldest son of General Lord Charles FitzRoy, the second son of the third Duke of Grafton, and Frances, daughter of Edward Miller Mundy, M.P., of Shipley Hall, Derbyshire, England.
FitzRoy was not directly involved in the colonial moves for a more liberal franchise, although he did write privately to the Colonial Office to support the enfranchisement of the leasehold squatters, who would strengthen the government in the Legislative Council.
FitzRoy's dispatches to London were liable to lack necessary information, to be unduly delayed, or to reveal that he had not properly understood the subjects on which he commented.

 Robert Fitzroy
FitzRoy virtually invented the term 'forecasting' and did much to initiate the wide-ranging processes of a weather bureau, to the great benefit of those on land and sea alike.
Fitzroy was a staunch believer in a literal interpretation of Scripture; sought data to confirm the biblical account of creation and appealed to Darwin to recant his theory but to no avail.

FitzRoy then wrote his account of the voyage, including editing the notes of the previous captain of the Beagle, which was completed and published in May 1839 as the Narrative of the surveying voyages of H.M.S. Adventure and Beagle in four volumes including Darwin's Journal and Remarks, 1832—1836 as the third volume.
FitzRoy was clearly dissociating himself from Darwin's account which embraced the new ideas of Charles Lyell, and asserting his commitment to the doctrine of the established Church of England which he, as a Tory, could be expected to uphold.
FitzRoy was responsible for the design and distribution of a type of barometer which on his recommendation was fixed at every port to be consulted by crews before setting to sea: stone housings for such barometers are still visible at many fishing harbours.

Fitzroy and Lawson discuss the strange fossils recently found at Punta Alta; they seem to take the discovery in stride, but Darwin is far more concerned by the implications of the fossils’ existence.
But Charles’ thoughts are still on the islands’ birds, and the way in which they have learned to fear Man. Birds do not learn from the past, nor do they pass knowledge on to their children -- at least not deliberately.

 FitzRoy's Bicentenary
FitzRoy soon rued his ill-conceived plan, which brought criticism from his superiors, but he saw it as a matter of honour to return the three surviving Fuegians as promised (the fourth Fuegian had died in England).
But FitzRoy saw himself as a man of science too, making his own natural history collections during the voyage (and, in the case of the famous Galapagos finches, labelling his finds far more accurately than Darwin, the man after whom they were later named).
FitzRoy was the perfect choice for the role: a man with a nautical background, who knew some science, and who would work religiously to save human lives.

FitzRoy did not accompany Darwin on the trip to Mercedes in Uruguay, where the skull was acquired, nor did the find occur within sight of the Andes.
And when Darwin laughs (indefinitely) at the suggestion, rising to the bait (“perhaps”), FitzRoy’s retort is entirely consonant with what is known of his character: “Do you mock me? Or the Bible?” The captain was prickly, authoritarian, a perfectionist with knife-edge moods.
Young “Ras” too was a freethinker - or “free-drinker,” he tells FitzRoy in their dockside encounter (but his real weakness was opium) - and as a bachelor he may have indulged a libertine tendency evident in his grandfather’s soft-porn poetry.

 Reviews of books by Fitzroy Maclean, Charles Maclean, Veronica Maclean.
Charles Maclean's 14 page introduction is an inciteful and scholarly essay on the way in which Romanticism became attached to Scotland; something that only happened within the last 250 years.
Island on the Edge of the World was Charles Maclean's first book, winning for its author a Scottish Arts council New Writer's Award.
That is to say, this is a book to get any young person interested in their Scottish ancestry, and yet will still be a resource for those who think they know quite a lot already.
