	Darwin -- Short Bio
		Darwin, of shy and retiring tempement, and plagued by poor health, did not seek out conflict or controversy, and demurred when occasions arose to discuss or debate his views in public.
		Darwin was deeply affected by the death of his older brother Erasmus ("Ras") in August 1881, and it is conjectured that his grief may have exacerbated the seriousness of his own poor health.
		Emma Darwin, his loyal and devoted wife, moved to Cambridge but returned to Down House during the summers for 14 more years until her death in 1896.

		Emma Darwin was born and brought up in London, where she was educated at St. Paul’s Girls’ School.
		Emma Darwin also has a great interest in photography, and this interest distracted her a little from writing at this time, as she acquired her first dark room (it’s probably not a coincidence that her great-great-great grandfather, Tom Wedgwood, was a pioneer of photography).

		Emma Darwin wrote and asked Frank to omit this sentence when he was editing the Autobiography in 1885.
		Darwin, with reference to some of his own remarkable works on the 'Fertilization of Orchids,' and upon 'The Earthworms,' and various other observations he made of the wonderful contrivances for certain purposes in nature--I said it was impossible to look at these without seeing that they were the effect and the expression of mind.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996

		Emma Darwin survived Charles Darwin until her death at the age of eighty-eight in 1896 (May 2, 1808-October 2, 1896) and she did not attend the formal service in London at Westminster Abbey.

	Maer, Charles Darwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It was at Maer that Darwin began to investigate the role of earthworms in formation of “vegetable mould,” and he attributed the insight of the role of earthworms to his uncle Josiah Wedgwood II.
		Darwin dug in fields that had been left undisturbed for some years, and he found that cinders, marl and lime, previously spread on the surface, were now buried some inches beneath the turf.
		Darwin (1881) returned to the subject in his final publication, a book entitled The formation of vegetable mould, through the action of worms, with observations on their habits.

		Darwin's selection to write the geological chapter in this official Admiralty manual for scientific exploration attests to his established reputation with influential contemporaries like Herschel.

	Behind Every Great Man - 17 November 2001 - New Scientist
		Charles Darwin worked and worried incessantly, so much so that he made himself ill. Edna Healey tells us that Emma, meanwhile, was intelligent, liked literature and "not only did she dance gracefully, she spoke French, German and Italian well, and played the piano brilliantly..."
		Nevertheless, Emma, née Wedgwood, one of eight children of the well-to-do pottery family, made a very successful and happy career out of the marriage and bore him 10 children between 1839 and 1856.
		She lays bare some of the marriage's problems: for instance, Darwin's concern over Emma's religiosity may have contributed to his illness and delay over publishing his theory of evolution.

	Who was Darwin?
		In a scene eerily reminiscent of Darwin's grandmother's passing, his mother's last fortnight on earth was characterized by vomiting and severe gastro-intestinal pain while being tended to by her husband, Dr. Robert, as he administered vast quantities of the opium derivative laudanum to her.
		Darwin related a strange story that was widely circulated around Shropshire of an incident that, though later denied by his father, and supposedly denied by the managing partner of the firm involved, at least according to Dr. Robert, was apparently corroborated by a great many eye witnesses:
		Darwin, when on his death bed, abjectly whined for a minister and renouncing evolution, sought safety in the blood of the Saviour' is totally false and without any kind of foundation." Ibid, pp.117, The Darwin Legend, taken from The Huxley Papers, 8;135-137, 138-139.

	Darwin Trip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There was much verbal sparring and acrimonious argument and Darwin, in particular, had little use for Carlyle: 'I never met a man with a mind so ill adapted for scientific research,' he wrote in his autobiography.
		Darwin College, across the river on Silver Street was built around the former home of George Darwin (1845-1912), who was Plumian professor of astronomy for nearly thirty years...
		The George Darwin home has a certain notoriety because it is the centre of action of Period Piece, an amusing and irreverent book by Gwen Raverat, George's daughter, which is all about growing up in Cambridge in the 1880's.
