Were it desirable to divide Sedgwick´s life into periods, according to his special interests and occupations, it might be said that we were now entering upon the domestic period - just as the years between 1818 and 1840 might be called the geological period. Without, however, insisting upon such sharply defined subdivisions, which would only lead to erroneous conclusions, it must be admitted that from 1840 onwards he devoted a considerable portion of his time and attention to his two nieces.
