Biographical history
Edward Charlesworth was born on September 5, 1813, in Clapham, Surrey, England.
He was the eldest son of the Rev. John Charlesworth (1782-1864). He studied medicine but abandoned a career in this discipline in 1836 to work in the British Museum as a geologist and paleontologist. He was interested in the Crag fossils of East Anglia and in the period from 1835 to 1838, he debated with Charles Lyell on the age and nature of the Crag formations. At this time, he took over the Magazine of Natural History associated with William Bean. The Magazine of Natural History is, in contemporary scientific literature, often referred to as "Charlesworth's Magazine of Natural History". Charlesworth was the second keeper of the Yorkshire Museum (1844 to 1858). He was also a founding editor of the London Geological Journal, curator of the Museum of the Zoological Society of London (1837-1840), and the Yorkshire Philosophical Society Museum (1844-1858).
He died on July 28, 1893, in Saffron Walden, Essex, England.
