His father, the Rev. Thomas Peacock, was a clergyman of the Church of England , incumbent and for 50 years curate of the parish of Denton, where he also kept a school. In early life Peacock did not show any precocity of genius, and was more remarkable for daring feats of climbing than for any special attachment to study. He received his elementary education from his father, and at 17 years of age, was sent to Richmond, to a school taught by a graduate of Cambridge University to receive instruction preparatory to entering that University. At this school he distinguished himself greatly both in classics and in the rather elementary mathematics then required for entrance at Cambridge. In

He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which society he was subsequently a fellow and tutor. The establishment of the university observatory was mainly due to his efforts, and in 1836 he was appointed to the Lowndean professorship of astronomy and geometry. In 1839 he was made dean of Ely, and resided there till his death on Nov. 8, 1858. Although Peacock's influence on English mathematicians was considerable, he has left but few memorials of his work; but I may note that his report on progress in analysis, 1833, commenced those valuable summaries of current scientific progress which enrich many of the annual volumes of the Transactions of the British Association.

Below is a list of people who had an influence on the life of Charles Darwin. While this is not an exhaustive list, it does cover all of those who had a major influence on his life. Please note that is list does not include family members. They will be discussed on a forthcoming page. Agassiz, Jean Louis Babbage, Charles Beaufort, Capt. Francis Bradlaugh, Charles ... Wilberforce, Bishop Sam Agassiz, Jean Louis [1807 - 1873] Agassiz was a Swiss born geologist and zoologist. He emigrated to the United States in 1846 and was a professor of natural history at Harvard University from 1847-73. He developed the novel theory that a previous ice age once engulfed the entire surface of the earth and supposedly this ice age separated the two "creation events" of god. Determined to prove himself right, Agassiz spent time in the Amazon Basin trying to find proof that glaciers were once there. He was not successful. Influence Charles Darwin and Louis Agassiz started a correspondence in the mid-1840's and soon became good friends. When Darwin was thinking about starting a comprehensive study of barnacles in 1846, Agassiz wrote to Darwin that such research was in great demand and he should by all means pursue it. Indeed, when Agassiz heard that Darwin was looking for different varieties of barnacles to study he sent him a huge crate full of specimens. When "Origin of Species" was published in 1859, Darwin sent Agassiz a complimentary 1st edition. Agassiz was not very impressed with Darwin's theory of natural selection, being convinced rather that each species was a separate divine creation ordained by god. During the late 1800's Agassiz became one of the most influential opponents of evolutionary theory in the United States.

Notes from Windward: #63 Peacock for Thanksgiving One of our (mixed) blessings Terry writes: Peacock George One of the mixed blessings at Windward has been the peacocks. Two years ago there was one, affectionately named "George." He apparently was an excess bachelor kicked out of our neighbor's flock. Upon inquiry, our neighbor informed us that we were welcome to keep any strays that wandered over. George was quite friendly and added color to our site. He left us feathers when he molted, put on a show for the chickens and ducks and made funny noises. A year ago, George brought over a friend. Then there were two peacocks leaving us feathers, courting the chickens and making funny noises. This year our uninvited flock of peacocks and hens numbered almost a dozen, including three chicks that disappeared after only a day. Pretty as they are, unfortunately, they're becoming a pest. They're not shy at all about helping themselves to the food put out for the ducks, chickens and song birds and, because of their size, they can easily chase any other birds away from the food. And so, we decided that since the peacocks were sharing the duck and chicken food, they should also share the same fate as our birds, i.e. some of them should become dinner assuming of course that they taste "ok." The grand experiment took place this Thanksgiving when a peacock joined the turkey as the center piece of our holiday dinner.
