People of Angus local history Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) an eminent scientist Born at Kinnordy House, near Kirriemuir on 14th November 1797, Sir Charles Lyell is perhaps the most significant figure ever born in Angus. Within his chosen subject of geology he was hugely influential and his encouragement of Charles Darwin helped lay the groundwork for evolutionary biology. Principles of Geology The Elements of Geology , a textbook for serious students of the science, which, like The Principles he spent his life revising, keeping abreast of new developments. In 1848 he was knighted at Balmoral by Queen Victoria, riding there from Kinnordy. He made several tours of the United States, described in Travels in North America The Antiquity of Man Charles Lyell (1972), and is highly recommended.

Sir Charles Lyell The son of the wealthy landowner of Kinnordy, Perthshire, Charles was brought up in Hampshire at the request of his mother who feared that drunkenness was endemic in Scotland. Having studied Classics at Oxford, he became a lawyer but gave this up in favour of geology, encouraged by the eccentric Dr. William Buckland. A European tour with Murchison, and his knowledge of Hutton's Theory of the Earth , provided the inspiration for his Principles of Geology (1830-1833). This text, forming the basis of modern geology, was highly controversial and greatly influenced his friend Charles Darwin who read it while on the voyage of the Beagle . Lyell cared deeply about social rank, and having already been ostracised by some of his more pious friends, was careful not to admit his support for Darwin's theory until sometime after its publication. His lecture tours of the United States in the 1840s were nevertheless highly successful. Lyell's visit to the Cupar area in November 1838 was recorded in the Fifeshire Journal. "Professor LYELL - This distinguished geologist yesterday visited some of our most interesting localities, and was particularly struck with the beauties of Dura Den. He inspected, with great admiration, some specimens of the insects and fishes belonging to Mr. Dalgleish of Dura, and which had been exhibited at the meeting of the Fifeshire Literary and Antiquarian Society on Tuesday." He later visited Dura Den with John Anderson in 1842. Back to Denizens of the Deep See Geology and Genesis Back to biographies next

document.write(""); LYELL, SIR CHARLES LYELL, SIR CHARLES (1797-1875), British geologist, was the eldest son of Charles Lyell of Kinnordy, Forfarshire, and LYLY, JOHN In August 1838 Lyell published the Elements of Geology, which, from being originally an expansion of one section of the Principles, became a standard work on stratigraphical and palaeontological geology. This book went through six editions in Lyell's lifetime (some intermediate editions being styled Manual of Elementary Geology), and in 1871 a smaller work, the Student's Elements of Geology, was based upon it. His third great work, The Antiquity of Man, appeared in 1863, and ran through three editions in one year. In this he gave a general survey of the arguments for man's early appearance on the earth, derived from the discoveries of flint implements in post-Pliocene strata in the Somme valley and elsewhere; he discussed also the deposits of the Glacial epoch, and in the same volume he first gave in his adhesion to Darwin's theory of the origin of species. A fourth edition appeared in 1873. In 1831-1833 Lyell was professor of geology at King's College, London, and delivered while there a course of lectures, whieh became the foundation of the Elements of Geology. In 1832 he

Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity Sir Charles Lyell was a geologist whose work helped to found the modern notion of geology and geologic time whilst establishing geology as a seperate science. In his first book, Principles of Geology he propounded his theory of uniformitarianism, that the Earth's history can be explained by gradual change over time. He also proposed the idea that different periods of geologic time could be established by reference fossils, he divided geologic time into four periods; Pleistoscene, Older Pliocene, Miocene and Eocene. He also expounded notions on the rock cycle, how one type of rock was transformed into another, volcanic forces, deposition and erosion. Lyell attended William Buckland's ( ) lectures on Geology in . He visited Paris in where he spent 2 months. The scientific influence of Paris was profound for Lyell. He first became aware of the depth and seriousness of French studies on natural history and geology. In Lyell was called to the bar; and from

His father (1767-1849) was known both as a botanist and as the translator of the Vita Nuova and the Convito of Dante: the plant Lyellia At this time he had already begun to plan his chief work, The Principles of Geology . The subsidiary title, "An Attempt to Explain the Former Changes of the Earth's Surface by Reference to Causes now in Operation," gives the keynote of the task to which Lyell devoted his life. A journey with Murchison in 1828 gave rise to joint papers on the volcanic district of Auvergne and the Tertiary formations of Aix-en-Provence. After parting with Murchison he studied the marine remains of the Italian Tertiary Strata and then conceived the idea of dividing this geological system into three or four groups, characterized by the proportion of recent to extinct species of shells. To these groups, after consulting Dr Whewell as to the best nomenclature, he gave the names now universally adopted Eocene

Room 1 Human Prehistory: An Exhibition Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) was a British geologist. In his Principles of Geology (3 volumes, 1830-33), Lyell conclusively showed that the earth was very old and had changed its form slowly, mainly from conditions such as erosion. Lyell was able to date the ages of rocks by using fossils embedded in the stone as time indicators. Charles Darwin made use of Lyell's data on fossils for his theory of evolution. Lyell himself had believed that the various species of plants and animals had remained unchanged since they were created. When confronted with Darwin's findings, he admitted "I now realize I have been looking down the wrong road." He became one of Darwin's strongest supporters. Lyell was born in Scotland. He studied geology at Oxford University and traveled on several geological expeditions in Europe and North America. But the first and one of the strongest supporters of Darwin's theory was Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895). A British anatomist and physical anthropologist, Huxley became the foremost advocate of the Darwinian theory and he was often called 'Darwin's bulldog'. In his book Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) offered proof for Darwin's thesis of natural selection. He was Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons and President of the Royal Society.

Biographical Sketch "I really think my books come half out of Lyell's brain," said Charles Darwin, "I see through his eyes." But Sir Charles Lyell, the great naturalist's friend and mentor, had a hard time returning the compliment. Although he privately encouraged Darwin's evolutionary work for years, Lyell could not bring himself to endorse his friend's theories in his own popular geology books. Much to Darwin's disgust, Lyell was a past master of the art of coming down squarely on both sides of an issue. Lyell's father, Charles Lyell of Kinnordy, was a Scots laird who was torn between scientific and liteary interests. He was a keen amateur botanist, but also managed to produce a well-known English translation of Dante's Inferno Sir Charles Lyell The younger Charles is also divided between two professions; he started out as a lawyer, but his strong interest in geology finally won out. He had admired the works of James Hutton and was instructed by the geologist William Buckland, with whom he examined volcanic layers on field trips to Italy. Just before Darwin was to leave on his five-year voyage aboard H.M.S.
