Evolution and creation

by Herbert Junius Hardwicke

About the author

Herbert Junius Hardwicke was a British doctor and writer active in the late 19th century. The title pages of his books identify him as an M.D., a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and a Fellow of the Medical Society of London.

His writing ranged widely. In addition to Evolution and Creation (1887), records of his works include Medical Education and Practice in All Parts of the World (1880), The Popular Faith Unveiled, and Rambles Abroad. That mix suggests a writer equally interested in science, belief, professional medicine, and the wider world.

Some surviving biographical snippets also describe him as a former editor of The Specialist and connect him with hospital work in Sheffield and medical service in Egypt. Those details appear in book and reference records, though full biographical information about his life is limited in easily available sources today.
