Derivation of name
[edit]I own a copy of an early French translation of Gamekeeper's Manual by Edward Levett Darwin. I know that solicitor Edward Levett of Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, was a friend of the Darwin family, as were the Levetts of Lichfield. Do any Darwin experts know where Edward got his middle name (i.e., did he have a Levett ancestor, or was he instead named for a good friend of the family)? Many thanks in advance.MarmadukePercy (talk) 22:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
