Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Darwin, Erasmus (b. Dec. 12, 1731, Elston Hall, Nottinghamshire, Eng.d. April 18, 1802, Derby, Derbyshire) [Index] , prominent English physician, grandfather of the naturalist Charles Darwin and the biologist Francis Galton. Educated at the universities of Cambridge (1750-54) and Edinburgh (1754-56), Darwin opened a successful medical practice in Lichfield after finding prospects in Nottingham unpromising. He soon built a reputation as a practitioner of such talent that George III offered him a position as his personal physician in London. Darwin declined to make the move, however. While in Lichfield, he made the acquaintance of many distinguished men, among them Joseph Priestley, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Samuel Johnson. Following his move to Derby (1781), where he founded a philosophical society, he opened a dispensary at Lichfield (1784). A freethinker and radical, Darwin often wrote his opinions and scientific treatises in verse. The most notable of these works are The Botanic Garden (1794-95) and The Temple of Nature or the Origin of Society (1803). In

His chief poetic works were the “Botanic Garden” and the “Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life,” deemed, in the philosophy of them, not unworthy of criticism by such sane thinkers as Paley and Dugald Stewart Definition taken from The Nuttall Encyclopædia , edited by the Reverend James Wood (1907) Darwin, Charles Robert
