The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin; including an Autobiographical Chapter. Edited by his son, FRANCIS DARWIN. Two vols., 12mo., pp. 558, 662. New York: D. Appleton & Co. CABOT'S "Life of Emerson," and the "Life and Letters of Charles Darwin," edited by his son, Francis Darwin, are two biogphies of rare interest issuing from the press about the same the time, and affording a marked contrast in the characters of Persons of whom they treat. The man of introspection and of outward observation will be found contrasted in these two works in a typical and representative manner. the ban The chief interest in the Life and Letters of Darwin lies in the autobiographical chapter. This is preceded by a sketch of the family. To his grandfather, Erasmus, Charles Darwin bore considerable resemblance both in physical characteristics and in certain mental traits. Robert Waring Darwin, the father of the naturalist, followed his father's profession; he studied medicine at Leyden, where he took his degree. He married the daughter of Josiah Wedgewood, the distinguished potter. Charles Darwin (born in 1809) had the strongest affection and admiration for his father. He describes him, in his "Recollections," as possessing remarkable powers of observation, and as very sympathetic. He was successful in the practice of his profession, amassing a fortune. Of his characteristics his son Charles writes: "The most remarkable power which my father possessed was that of reading the characters, and even the thoughts of those whom he saw for a short time. We had many instances of this power, some of which seemed almost supernatural." His memory was such that once having heard a date in connection with the birth or death of a person, he never forgot it, and the power was annoying, as it became a burden to him. The sketch which Darwin wrote of himself he terms "Recollections of the Development of My Mind and Character." It was written in the sixty-seventh year of his age, and is one of the most interesting and valuable bits of autobiography extant. He refers to his early characteristics as a boy, to his fondness for fishing and hunting; and the first intimation of his future career was his fondness for collecting eggs, which was without method or system, but a decided passion. Of his early school days he speaks slightly, regarding them as a blank in his education. "During my whole life," he says, "I have been singularly incapable of mastering any language." His memory was good, therefore he had no difficulty in performing his tasks in committing lines of Homer or Virgil, which he forgot, however, almost as rapidly as he learned them. His father rated his early attainments rather low, saying: "You care for nothing but shooting dogs, and rat catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and your family." Looking back on his early school life, the only traits of character which he thought promised well for the future were his strong and diversified tastes, his zeal for whatever interested him, and his keen pleasure in understanding any complex subject or thing. He read poetry at this time-Thompson's Seasons, Byron, and Scott. Later on, he comments on the fact |
