Bada & Antonio Lazcano Received: 25 June 2009 /Accepted: 9 July 2009 / Published online: 25 July 2009 # The Author(s) 2009. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species 150 years ago he consciously avoided discussing the origin of life. However, analysis of some other texts written by Darwin, and of the correspondence he exchanged with friends and colleagues demonstrates that he took for granted the possibility of a natural emergence of the first life forms. As shown by notes from the pages he excised from his private notebooks, as early as 1837 Darwin was convinced that “the intimate relation of Life with laws of chemical combination, & the universality of latter render spontaneous generation not improbable”. Like many of his contemporaries, Darwin rejected the idea that putrefaction of preexisting organic compounds could lead to the appearance of organisms. Although he favored the possibility that life could appear by natural processes from simple inorganic compounds, his reluctance to discuss the issue resulted from his recognition that at the time it was possible to undertake the experimental study of the emergence of life.

The census: We obtained a print out of the microfilm of the census enumerators' books (two of them for Uppingham) from the joint Record Office in Leicester. The cost of this almost killed the group activity at the start. We made a transcript of these census books and passed copies to the local libraries, museum, and Uppingham schools in printed and/or in diskette form for their own use.

  • William W. Watts, Pioneer Midlands Geologist
    William W. Watts, pioneer Midlands geologist Helen Boynton and Trevor Ford Abstract: W. W. Watts lived from 1860 to 1947, during which time he was a leader in geological thinking and played many roles in the early development of the geological sciences. He is best known for his geological mapping and interpretation of the ancient rocks of Charnwood Forest. This biography is presented as a review of his life as a geologist closely associated with Charnwood Forest, as featured in his book Geology of the Ancient Rocks of Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, which was posthumously published in late 1947. William Whitehead Watts was born at Broseley, 1897 to 1906. Lapworth was Professor of Geology and Shropshire, on 7th June 1860; thus 2010 is the 150th Physiography (broadly equivalent to geomorphology anniversary of his birth. He died on 30th July 1947. today). Lapworth and Watts jointly contributed Watts’ father was a music master and his mother (neenée much to knowledge of the geology of the Midlands, Whitehead) was a farmer’s daughter. Watts’ education particularly Shropshire. In 1906 Watts succeeded started at Bitterley School, near Ludlow, from 1869- J.W.Judd as Professor in the Royal College of Science 1870 and was continued at Shifnal Grammar School and Royal School of Mines (later Imperial College, 1871-3, before he went to Denstone College, near part of the University of London), where he remained Uttoxeter, Staffordshire; this had only just opened as until his retirement in 1931, being instrumental in one of the Woodard Schools, with a leaning towards developing the College’s courses in mining, petroleum science and mathematics.

  • The Rev. Professor T. G. Bonney, Sc.D., F.R.S., Etc
    THE GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE VOLUME LXI. No. II.—FEBRUARY, 1924. OBITUARY. The Rev. Professor T. G. Bonney, Sc.D., F.R.S., etc. Thomas George Bonney was born on 27th July, 1833, at Rugeley, Staffordshire, the eldest of the ten children of the Rev. Thomas Bonney, of Pipe Ridware, near Rugeley. The family was of French Protestant origin, but had long been settled in Staffordshire. During his boyhood Thomas George Bonney showed an inclination towards natural science, which, indeed, seems to have been hereditary, as both parents were keen botanists. The years spent at Uppingham School helped to increase this taste, and provided facilities for fossil-collecting, thus awakening an instinct for geology. On leaving Uppingham as head of the School he went to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he soon obtained a scholarship. As was the custom of those days, he took both the mathematical and classical triposes, graduating in 1856 as twelfth wrangler with a second class in classics. Shortly after this his health partly broke down and he left Cambridge for a while, but a few months spent on the south coast and in the Alps restored him to health, and he accepted the post of mathematical master at Westminster School, while at the same time he prepared for holy orders, being ordained deacon in 1857 and priest in 1858. In 1859 Mr. Bonney was elected to a fellowship at St. John's, and in 1861 he returned to Cambridge to take up the duties of junior dean, afterwards becoming tutor of his college. His principal work in Cambridge was done between 1861 and 1881, at which latter date he took up his residence in London.

  • The Rev. Professor T. G. Bonney, Sc.D., F.R.S., Etc
    THE GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE VOLUME LXI. No. II.—FEBRUARY, 1924. OBITUARY. The Rev. Professor T. G. Bonney, Sc.D., F.R.S., etc. Thomas George Bonney was born on 27th July, 1833, at Rugeley, Staffordshire, the eldest of the ten children of the Rev. Thomas Bonney, of Pipe Ridware, near Rugeley. The family was of French Protestant origin, but had long been settled in Staffordshire. During his boyhood Thomas George Bonney showed an inclination towards natural science, which, indeed, seems to have been hereditary, as both parents were keen botanists. The years spent at Uppingham School helped to increase this taste, and provided facilities for fossil-collecting, thus awakening an instinct for geology. On leaving Uppingham as head of the School he went to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he soon obtained a scholarship. As was the custom of those days, he took both the mathematical and classical triposes, graduating in 1856 as twelfth wrangler with a second class in classics. Shortly after this his health partly broke down and he left Cambridge for a while, but a few months spent on the south coast and in the Alps restored him to health, and he accepted the post of mathematical master at Westminster School, while at the same time he prepared for holy orders, being ordained deacon in 1857 and priest in 1858. In 1859 Mr. Bonney was elected to a fellowship at St. John's, and in 1861 he returned to Cambridge to take up the duties of junior dean, afterwards becoming tutor of his college. His principal work in Cambridge was done between 1861 and 1881, at which latter date he took up his residence in London.
