by A. C. Crombie
Lecturer in History of Science in the University of Oxford
Darwin presented himself to the public— for example, in the opening paragraphs of The Origin of Species-as a Baconian scientist, who patiently accumulated facts before formulating any theory to link them. Is this a true picture of Darwin, or did he delude both the public and possibly himself? Dr. Crombie contends that the latter is true, and he presents the evidence he has gleaned from a new study of Darwin's correspondence and notebooks.
