_fa bro_, Erasmus DARWIN. (See Carlyle's inexact description, and the
appreciations of him by his brother and others, in "Life and Letters
of Charles R. Darwin," i. 21-25.)

_fa_, Charles Robert DARWIN (1809-1882), F.R.S., the celebrated
naturalist. The dates of his works are "Voyage of the _Beagle_,"
1840; "Origin of Species," 1859; followed by a succession of eight
important volumes ranging from 1862 to 1881, each of which confirmed
and extended his theory of descent. Among the very numerous
biographical memoirs it must suffice here to mention "Life and
Letters," by Francis Darwin, and "Dict. N. Biog."

_me me fa_, Josiah WEDGWOOD, F.R.S. (1730-1795), the famous founder
of the pottery works.--["Dict. N. Biog."]

_me me bro_, Thomas WEDGWOOD (1771-1805), an experimenter in early
life, and in one sense the first to create photography; a martyr to
ill-health later. Sydney Smith knew "no man who appeared to have
made such an impression on his friends," his friends including many
of the leading intellects of the day.--["Dict. N. Biog."]

F.R.S.; see above.

_me bro_, Hensleigh WEDGWOOD (1803-1891), author of "Etymological
