About this book
Charles Lyell, whose Principles of Geology helped put the young science on a sounder footing, is the subject of this short biography by the geologist T. G. Bonney. Lyell's life had little adventure, so the book follows his working habits instead: how he trained himself by observation and travel, how each trip had a definite purpose, and how he kept improving his major work to the end of his long life. Bonney quotes freely from his letters, diaries and books. It appeared in 1895 in the Century Science Series.
