Darwin, Erasmus. The Botanic Garden; a Poem, in Two Parts. Part I. Containing the Economy of Vegetation. Part II. The Loves of the Plants. With Philosophical Notes. London, Printed for J. Johnson, 1791. The Botanic Garden , and a book called Phytologia, or the Philosophy of Agriculture and Gardening..., 1800, containing information on the draining of wet lands and construction of ploughs. Originally published anonymously, The Botanic Garden is a poem about nature in which the voice of the "botanic muse" tours plant species describing the sexual system of over 80 plants, giving examples of Linnean classes and orders. It was published in two parts. The second part was originally published in 1789 as "Loves of the Plants." The first part "The Economy of Vegetation" originally appeared in 1791. Darwin plagiarized some poetry of Anna Seward in the first part, believing he was paying her a compliment; apparently they remained friends anyway. He made quite a lot of money on this work; it was reprinted many times. It is a significant work because "elaborate poetic diction is most incongruously applied to crude facts of science" and because it contains some plates from drawings of Henry Fuseli and some engravings by William Blake.

Erasmus Darwin (1731 - 1802) ERASMUS DARWIN Erasmus Darwin was Charles Darwin's grandfather. A highly-regarded doctor - George III asked him to be his physician, but Erasmus declined - critically-acclaimed poet, ahead-of-his-time inventor and dedicated botanist, Erasmus brought tremendous enthusiasm and intelligence to all his multifarious pursuits. As a leading light of the Lunar Society his close friends and associates included Josiah Wedgwood Mathew Boulton and James Watt , as well as the philosopher and statesman Benjamin Franklin and artist Joseph Wright Erasmus came up with a coherent theory of evolution a full 70 years before Charles turned his mind to it. He expounded this in his extraordinary book Zoonomia or the Laws of Organic Life which, first published in 1794, took him 25 years to write and also includes a comprehensive classification of diseases and treatments. Although the whole project appears somewhat eccentric to a twenty-first century reader, the book was, in its time, extremely well-received. One reviewer claimed that Zoonomia 'bids fair to do for Medicine what Sir Isaac Newton's Principia has done for Natural Philosophy.' It didn't, but it was a nice thought.

Home Explorers Photography Resources ... The Golde Age of Botany Erasmus Darwin Carl Linaeus Joseph Banks Charles Darwin Erasmus Darwin (1731 - 1802) Erasmus Darwin is one of the greatest underrated geniuses in history. Erasmus Darwin was an accomplished scientist, physician, botanist, inventor, naturalist, best-selling author, philosopher and poet. He maintained correspondences with many of the great thinkers and explorers of his day, including Carl Linnaeus and Joseph Banks . He developed his own theories, conducted exhaustive research to support his ideas, and did this all while maintaining one of the most successful medical practices in all of England. Born at Elston Hall near Nottingham in 1731, he was educated at Chesterfield School then later at St. John's College at Cambridge. He went on to obtain his degree at Edinburgh Medical School, and then set up a very successful medical practice in Lichfield. Decades, if not centuries, ahead of his time, Erasmus Darwin did groundbreaking research on plants, recognizing the function of photosynthesis and its great importance in the survival of all life. His meticulous translation of Linnaeus's works into English made them accessible to a much wider audience, and no doubt influenced the studies of many young botanists to come.

Overview of the life of Erasmus Darwin Records of the Darwin family can be found in Elston church near Nottingham, north central England dating back as far as 1654. Erasmus was born at Elston Hall in 1731. He was the fourth son of Robert Darwin (1682-1754), a moderately successful lawyer, and Elizabeth Darwin (1702-1797, originally Elizabeth Hill). Elizabeth Darwin was a charismatic, intelligent woman with a fondness for reading and raising pigeons, (which interestingly play a part in the first chapter of "Origin of Species"). Robert Darwin inherited Elston hall and lived comfortably but never dedicated himself to the accumulation of wealth. He retired early to pursue an interest in archeology and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life. Reading between the lines there is some suggestion of occasional impatience with his ever exuberant, energetic and scholastic wife, twenty years younger than he. In one litany he writes: "From a morning that doth shine

53. Rocky Road: Charles Darwin Charles darwin s grandfather was erasmus darwin, the scientist, poet,inventor and doctor. One of erasmus s sons, Charles, planned http://www.strangescience.net/darwin.htm

Charles Darwin "You care for nothing but shooting, dogs, and rat-catching," Charles Darwin recalled his father once telling him, "and you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family." It was an inauspicious beginning for one of history's greatest scientists. Then Charles got a lucky break: a chance to set sail aboard the Beagle Beagle voyage the defining experience of his life, and he was right; it provided him with the evidence that would forever change biology. It may also have ruined his health. A bite from a poisonous insect during the trip might have been the cause of Darwin's chronic illness in later years. Here's how natural selection works: In any population, there will be variations. Individuals born with certain characteristics, e.g., strong legs, keen eyesight, good camouflage, will enjoy an advantage over their peers. If these individuals can pass these traits on to their offspring, their offspring will enjoy the same advantages. If the surrounding environment gradually changes, it may come to pass that new characteristics are more advantageous than old ones, for instance, a new color that makes better camouflage. As the environment changes, individuals with these new characteristics do better, live longer and produce more offspring until the population eventually looks very different from its original version. If the population changes enough to satisfy some taxonomist, it will be classified as a new species. In other words, new species arise when the environment favors new characteristics over old ones.

The C. Warren Irvin, Jr., Collection of Charles Darwin and Darwiniana Boyhood and Edinburgh: Erasmus Darwin, Lamarck, and Culver Darwin's famous intervention in the long scientific debate over the way differing species and life-forms came into being was not a sudden idea. Before its first publication in 1859, he had spent nearly thirty years in scientific exploration, research and analysis, across a range of what are now separate disciplines, collecting the evidence that he summarized and synthesized in his Origin of Species . The result was, in the words of the leading Darwin bibliographer, "certainly the most important biological book ever written." The exhibit traces this story from his days as an undergraduate to the debates that followed his book's publication. The Wedgwood family of Etruria Hall, 1780 The wealthy couple shown here, Josiah and Sarah Wedgwood, at their country house in Staffordshire, were Darwin's grandparents. Both Darwin and his father married Wedgwood cousins, and his career as an independent scientific researcher was made possible not only by his father's success as a physician, but also by wealth inherited from the pottery business.

Mount Holyoke College Archives and Special Collections Manuscript Register Darwin, Erasmus, Letter : to Dr. William Withering, 14 May 1775 Manuscript Collection: MS 0014 1 folded leaf Agency History/Biographical note: Erasmus Darwin, an English physician, poet and philosopher, had a botanical garden at Lichfield. He founded three scientific societies in the English Midlands. He wrote several philosophical works about nature, of which the best known is his poem "The Botanic Garden." He was one of the few people in the late 18th century to write about evolution; his grandson Charles Darwin's contributions to the field are better known. Scope and Content: A short letter sent from Darwin to William Withering, a physician and member of Darwin's Lunar Society, in which Darwin first notes his recent purchase of a large number of German books. He then refers to some books of alchemy he hopes to acquire, to an experiment by Dr. William Small, and to the passage through Parliament of a bill granting James Watt an extension on his steam engine patent.

Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) Ashton Nichols, Department of English, Dickinson College E rasmus Darwin , grandfather of Charles Darwin , was born near Nottingham on December 12, 1731. He was educated at Cambridge and Edinburgh and settled first near Lichfield and later at Derby. A remarkable polymath, he became a best selling poet during the same years that he worked as a country doctor, naturalist, medical botanist, and inventor. Darwin expounded one of the earliest theories of evolution ("all vegetables and animals now living were originally derived from the smallest microscopic ones"), and he described the importance of sexual selection to continuing changes within species ("the final cause of this contest among males seems to be, that the strongest and most active animal should propagate the species, which should thence become improved"). His two most important technical works are Zoonomia (1794), a medical textbook punctuated with reflections on philosophy, natural history, and human life and Phytologia (1800), a scientific discussion of agriculture and gardening. His book length poems
