Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing
The Reverend Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing F.R.S., F.L.S. (6 February 1835, London – 8 July 1926, Royal Tunbridge Wells) was a British zoologist, who described himself as "a serf to natural history, principally employed about Crustacea". Educated in London and Oxford, he only took to natural history in his thirties, having worked as a teacher until then. Although an ordained Anglican priest, Stebbing promoted Darwinism in a number of popular works, and was banned from preaching as a result. His scientific works mostly concerned crustaceans, especially the Amphipoda and Isopoda, the most notable being his work on the amphipods of the ''Challenger'' expedition.
==Biography==
Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing was born on 6 February 1835 in Euston Square, London, the seventh of thirteen〔〔 or fourteen children,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=King's College London )〕 to the clergyman and editor of the ''Athenaeum'', Henry Stebbing, and his wife, Mary Griffin.〔 Thomas was educated at the King's College School, and afterwards entered King's College, London to study classics,〔 graduating with a BA in 1855.〔 He then matriculated at Lincoln College, Oxford,〔 before studied at Worcester College, Oxford, gaining a BA in law and modern history there in 1857 and an MA in 1859. Around this time, he was a master at Radley College and Wellington College.〔 He took on various roles at Worcester College, including that of fellow (1860–1868), tutor (1865–1867), vice-provost (1865) and eventually dean (1866),〔 as well as a lecturer in divinity.〔 He resigned his fellowship in 1868.〔 He was ordained into the Church of England by Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford in 1859.〔
By 1863, Stebbing had begun to work as a tutor in Reigate, Surrey, where he met the entomologist William Wilson Saunders, whose daughter Mary Anne was a capable botanist and illustrator.〔 Stebbing took up the study of natural history around this time, and married Mary Anne in 1867.〔 The couple moved to Torquay, Devon after their marriage, where Stebbing continued to work as a tutor and schoolmaster, and began to write about theology, Darwinism and natural history, partly under the influence of the naturalist William Pengelly.〔
In 1873, Stebbing produced his first paper on crustaceans, and began to study the Amphipoda the following year.〔 In 1877, Stebbing moved to Royal Tunbridge Wells, where he lived in Ephraim Lodge, on the edge of Tunbridge Wells Common, in order to benefit from the greater number of students in London, and to be closer to the libraries, museums and scientific circles in the capital.〔 As his finances improved, he was able to give up teaching altogether and concentrate on writing.〔 He died in Ephraim Lodge on 8 July 1926.〔 His funeral was held at St. Paul's Church, Rusthall, where Stebbing had officiated when requested; since its churchyard was inadequate, Stebbing's body was buried in the town's public cemetery.〔 His wife survived him by only a few months.
