Lyell, Charles, Sir, 1797-1875. Letter to "Dear Sir," 1871, February 14.

Title: Letter to "Dear Sir," 1871, February 14.

Letter from Charles Lyell to an unnamed recipient (possibly James Hague) in which he gives directions to a February 17, 1871 meeting of the Geological Society. He also describes changes he would like to have made to Elements of Geology, particularly in regards to the "tertiary age of the fissure" of a lode from which "vast quantities of . . . precious metals" had been extracted. A copy of the book was apparently sent with the letter, and Lyell asks the recipient for further suggestions on revision.

Adam Sedgwick Collection, 1825-1870

Title: Adam Sedgwick Collection 1825-1870

Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873, APS 1860), geologist, was an important figure in the development of the modern discipline of geology. He was educated at Cambridge, being ordained in 1817. An excellent field geologist, he did significant work interpreting complex old rock in such places as Devonshire (naming the Devonian Period after that location), Cornwall, and the Lake District, correlating his findings with strata in places such as Germany. Sedgwick first interpreted strata from the period he named Cambrian. He served in many professional organizations and was honored for his work with the Wollaston and Copley medals. Sedgwick, a Liberal in politics, served on committees that reformed the administration of university education. Despite being a friend of Charles Darwin's, Sedgwick was critical of the materialist bent of Darwinian thought. The 37 letters in the collection were acquired at various times, mainly through purchase, and assembled for the collection. The letters span the dates 1825-1870. Individually most letters are not especially significant, but collectively they touch on most aspects of Sedgwick's life and career. There are letters about Sedgwick's work on university reform, the Geological Museum at Cambridge, lectures, colleagues, travel, health, and family. Only one letter in the collection delves into detail about Sedgwick's geologic work.
