Student books influenced charles darwin
Three books/authors which Darwin mentions in his memoirs as having influenced him as a young man. From the left they are: William Paleys 1802 Natural Theology - or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of a Deity. A book which used design in nature (the watchmaker analogy) as evidence of a creator. One of his University course books. Darwin greatly enjoyed its tight and careful reasoning, even though his work would ultimately undermine its entire logic. Middle, 1833 Whewells third Bridgewater treatise on Astronomy and Physics - here the Cambridge man rather than the book are the influence. Whewell coined the very word scientist. And right John Herschels " Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy" 1830, which more than any other book excited Darwin to pursue the boundless possibilities of science

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three influential books and authors that shaped the mind of Charles Darwin during his formative years. From left to right, we see William Paley's 1802 masterpiece "Natural Theology - or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of a Deity". This book presented nature's intricate design as evidence for the existence of a creator, employing the famous watchmaker analogy. Despite later contradicting its fundamental logic with his groundbreaking work, Darwin found immense pleasure in Paley's meticulous reasoning. In the middle stands Whewell's third Bridgewater treatise on Astronomy and Physics from 1833. While it was not solely the book itself but rather Whewell, a Cambridge scholar who coined the term "scientist" that influenced young Darwin. This encounter sparked his curiosity about scientific exploration and discovery. Finally, on the right side rests John Herschel's "Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy" published in 1830. Among all other books, this particular piece ignited an insatiable desire within Darwin to delve into science's boundless possibilities. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Paul D. Stewart from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how these educational treasures played an instrumental role in shaping one of history's most renowned scientists. They offer us a glimpse into Darwin's intellectual journey at Christ College in Cambridge University before embarking on his transformative voyage aboard HMS Beagle and ultimately publishing his seminal work "On The Origin Of Species.
