 Hugh Edwin Strickland
Hugh was the grandson of Edmund Cartwright the inventor of the powerloom.
Hugh Strickland was born on the 2nd March 1811, at Righton in Yorkshire and went as a pupil of Dr Thomas Arnold at the age of sixteen (1827) who was a "family connection".
Strickland soon after this was killed in an accident in a railway cutting near Hull, a death so awful that his fate was still being held up as a warning to undergraduates not to examine railway cuttings as recently as the 1980's.

 Representations of the Natural System in the Nineteenth Century
During the subsequent mapmaking period (1840–1859) Strickland and Wallace reacted against the quinarians, and argued for the exclusion of analogy and symmetry from the domain of systematics.
Strickland and his followers in the mapmaking period explicitly denied that analogy had any place in the Natural System (Strickland, 1840, 1841), and did not depict it in any of their systematic maps.
A portion of Strickland’s ‘chart of the natural affinities of the class of birds’, displayed at the 1843 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and published after Strickland’s death by his father-in-law, Sir William Jardine (1858).

 Diagrammatic Classifications of Birds, 1819-1901
Strickland’s 1841 paper, confidently titled “On the true method of discovering the natural system in zoology and botany,” used the kingfishers and their allies to exemplify a new approach (Fig.
Strickland rejected not only the two-dimensional, planar nature of quinarian classification, but also rejected the notion that relationships of analogy have a place in systematics.
Kingfishers were the birds Strickland had used to exemplify his “true method” in 1841, and it was quite natural for Sharpe to view his own monograph as a revision of Strickland’s work.

He asked her to ensure that the essay would be published in the event of his death and stipulated a sum of money to be bequeathed, together with his extensive library and portfolios of notes on species, to an editor who would undertake to see the work through the press.
Darwin also listed possible editors: at first he proposed any one of Lyell, Henslow, Edward Forbes, William Lonsdale, Hugh Edwin Strickland, or Owen----the last with the caveat that he would probably not wish to take on the work.
But the list was subsequently altered after Darwin's second, and possibly third, thoughts on the choice of the right person.
