‎Charles Darwin Uses the Language of Religion to Describe the Increasing Number of Scientists Adopting His Theory of Evolution: Converts‎

‎04/11/1864. <blockquote><p>Darwin's work had profound implications for the relationship between science and religion and here he opposed anyone who would seek to profess religious over scientific faith</p><p> </p><p>Scientists Darwin felt should work in the spirit of seeking ""truth"" with no preconceived notions</p><p> </p><p>The adoption of the Theory of Evolution by scientists is ""the real cream of the enjoyment to me; indeed it is to me worth far more than any medal.""</p><p> </p><p>Significantly he hopes to continue his work in science</p><p> </p><p>One of the most important Darwin letters we have carried</p></blockquote><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-34774 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20251016172859/Darwin-2-1-1600x1200.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1200"" /></p><p>Charles Darwin's ""On the Origin of Species"" was one of the most important books of all time. When it was published in 1859 there was skepticism within as well as without the scientific community about the central premise that species changed through time by a process Darwin labeled natural selection. The idea that human beings evolved from other previous species struck at the heart of the generally accepted belief that humans were different from other animals and that species were fixed or immutable. Everyone had learned the story of creation from the Bible and Darwin's ideas presented a challenge to those who looked at the question through a literal religious perspective. But Darwin hoped that scientists as well as others would be able to accommodate adopt an essentially new view and accept evolution. Yet at the same time he realized that many who had grown up in the previous scientific school would have a hard time doing so. It seemed that perhaps a new generation of scientists might have to rise before his work was generally accepted.</p><p>The Copley Medal the highest award of the Royal Society is given for “sustained outstanding achievements in any field of scienceâ€. In 1864 Darwin was nominated to receive the medal and was awarded it ""For his important researches in geology zoology and botanical physiologyâ€. Previous winners included scientists like Benjamin Franklin William Herschel Alessandro Volta Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday.</p><p>Hugh Falconer was a paleontologist and botanist who was an admirer of Darwin though not a convert to his theory of evolution. He seconded the nomination of Darwin for the medal and Darwin wrote to thank him for doing so. In his letter Darwin made some points of great importance: 1. That more and more scientists were becoming converts to his theory of evolution; 2. That he hopes to continue his work in science despite advancing age; 3. That scientists should work in the spirit of seeking truth with no preconceived notions and 4. That the support of scientists he respected like Falconer meant more than the medal to him.</p><p>Falconer was outraged by a petition that was circulating within Britain’s learned societies that attempted to limit the bounds of scientific enquiry. The petition claimed that scientific research was being “‘perverted by some…into occasion for casting doubt upon the Truth and Authenticity of the Holy Scriptures†and was specifically aimed against evolutionary theory and investigations into the antiquity of man. Falconer made clear to Darwin that he aimed to ""protest against the profession of religious against scientific faithâ€.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-34775 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20251016172938/Darwin-4-1-1600x680.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""680"" /></p><p><strong>Autograph letter signed</strong> four pages with the addressed envelope Down House headed stationery Kent November 4 1864 to Hugh Falconer making all the important points cited above. <em>“What a good kind friend you are. I know well that this medal must have cost you a great deal of trouble. It is a very great honor to me but I declare that the knowledge that you & a few other friends here so much interested themselves in the subject is the real cream of the enjoyment to me; indeed it is to me worth far more than any medal. So accept my true and cordial thanks. I hope that I may yet have strength to do a little more work in natural science; shaky and old though I be.â€</em></p><p><em>“I have chuckled and triumphed over your postscript about poor M. Brullé and his young pupils. About a week ago I had a nearly similar account from Germany and at the same time I heard of some splendid converts in such men as Rudolf Leuckart Carl Gegenbaur &c. You may say what you like about yourself but I look at a man who treats Natural History in the spirit with which you do exactly as good for what I believe to be the truth as a convert. Farewell my good friend with sincere thanks your true friend Charles Darwin.â€</em></p><p>In mentioning M. Brullé Darwin alludes to an amusing story told by Falconer to him in a previous letter relaying the complaint of the entomologist Gaspard Auguste Brullé that he heard of nothing but Darwin from his students.</p><p>Darwin need not have worried about his future productivity in this 1864 letter. Afterwards he wrote several more books which include “The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication†1868 which explored the principles of heredity and how variations occur in domesticated species; his famous “The Descent of Man†1871 applying the theory of natural selection to human evolution and discussing sexual selection; “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals†1872 examining the evolutionary origins of emotions and facial expression; and “The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the action of worms"" 1881.</p><p>Falconer replied to Darwin’s letter on November 7 and the spirit with which he treated Natural History and the reason for his support for Darwin were evidenced in that reply. Falconer explained that he believed the award of the Copley medal to Darwin was doubly important: “1. As regards due appreciation of yourself. 2d. As a determined protest against the profession of religious against scientific faithâ€.</p><p>Falconer was right to be concerned about the reaction of the religious community and its sympathizers to the theory of evolution. Darwin’s ideas provoked a harsh response from religious leaders and their allies of which this petition was one example. As examples of the criticism of evolution England’s highest-ranking Catholic official Henry Cardinal Manning denounced Darwin’s views as “a brutal philosophy – to wit there is no God and the ape is our Adam.†And Samuel Wilberforce the Anglican Archbishop of Oxford and one of the most highly respected religious leaders in 19th-century England also condemned natural selection in a now-famous speech on what he deemed the theory’s deficiencies.</p><p>This is one of the most important Darwin letters we have carried dealing as it does with support for his theory of evolution his hopes for future work in science and the role of science in seeking truth.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎

‎Charles Darwin Writes Naturalist John Jenner Weir Thanking Him for Supplying Information on the Nesting Habits of Birds‎

‎14/02/1876. <p>John Jenner Weir was an English amateur entomologist and ornithologist as well as being a civil servant. He studied the relation between insects and birds and is best known today for being one of the naturalists who corresponded with and provided important data to both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.</p><p>video width=""1920"" height=""1080"" mp4=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204125938/Darwin.mp4""/video</p><p>The 13th annual exhibition of canaries and British and foreign cage birds took place at the Crystal Palace from February 18-23 1876. There were 1500 birds on exhibition there and it was a major event. Weir intended to attend and “The Correspondence of Charles Darwin†identifies the recipient and conjectures that he wrote to Darwin offering to accompany him to the exhibition. Weir also included information about nesting birds in his letter.</p><p>Darwin responded expressing gratitude for the nesting information but declining the invitation saying the trip would be too exhausting for him.</p><p><strong>Autograph letter signed</strong> on his letterhead February 14 1876 to Weir. <em>“I find by dearly bought experience that such an exertion as going to Crystal Palace knocks me for several days and therefore I cannot accept your kind offer. </em></p><p><em>""What you tell me about the nesting of birds is new to me.""</em> Darwin was interested in nesting habits of birds starting with his observation of the finches in the Galapagos. Weir had previously previously written Darwin on the nesting habits of starlings so this was likely a follow up.</p><p>Darwin letters are becoming increasingly scarce. This is our first in some time. That it is to one of his regular correspondents makes it all the more interesting.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎
