Sir Charles Lyell 1797 - 1875 Sir Charles Lyell was born in Scotland on November 14, 1797 and died in London on February 22, 1875. He attended Oxford University at age 19. He was knighted for scientific accomplishment in 1848. He later became a Baron in 1864. He grew up the oldest of 10 children. Lyell's father was an active naturalist. Lyell had access to an elaborate library including subjects such as Geology. When Lyell was at Oxford, his interests were mathematics, classics, the legal system (law) and geology. He attended a lecture by William Buckland that triggered his enthusiasm for geology. Lyell originally started his career as a lawyer, but later turned to geology. His zoological skills aided in his extensive studies and observations throughout the world. He became an author of T he Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man in 1863 and Principles of Geology (12 editions). Lyell argued in this book that, at the time, presently observable geological processes were adequate to explain geological history. He thought the action of the rain, sea, volcanoes and earthquakes explained the geological history of more ancient times. Lyell rebelled against the prevailing theories of geology of the time. He thought the theories were biased, based on the interpretation of Genesis. He thought it would be more practical to exclude sudden geological catastrophes to vouch for fossil remains of extinct species and believed it was necessary to create a vast time scale for Earth's history. This concept was called Uniformitarianism. The second edition of

Darwin at home In 1842, three years after their marriage, the Darwins moved out into the country, purchasing Down House, Downe, a small village seventeen miles from London. It remained their home for the rest of his life. The Darwins had ten children in all.

Naturenotes índice Charles Lyell. LYELL, SIR CHARLES (1797-1875) Durante este tiempo su vida fue lentamente aproximándose hacia la vida de estudiante de ciencia. En 1819 fue elegido miembro de la Linnean Geological Societies, comunicando su primera publicación a dicha sociedad en 1822, "On a Recent Formation of Freshwater Limestone in Forfarshire", y nombrado uno de los secretarios honorarios en 1823. En ese año se marchó a Francia, conociendo a Cuvier, Humboldt Por este tiempo ya había comenzado a planificar su mas importante trabajo, "The Principles of Geology". El título subsidiario "An Attempt to Explain the Former Changes of the Earth's Surface by Reference to Causes now in Operation" es explicativo de la labor a la que Lyell dedicó su vida. Hutton, con anterioridad, había descrito un modelo terrestre en el que "no había muestras de un principio ni indicios de un fin" e imaginaba la Tierra en un ciclo continuo de cambios. Hutton publicó un libro destacando su concepto de Geología pero no fue muy habilidoso con sus explicaciones. Su trabajo sería mas tarde clarificado y reestructurado por Lyell en el clásico "Principles of Geology". El punto de vista de Lyell difería del de Hutton y fue el primero en exponer la idea que tenemos hoy en día como Uniformitarismo, a menudo resumida en la frase "el pasado es la llave del presente". Lyell supuso que los procesos operaban en el pasado en la misma proporción y la misma velocidad en que lo hacen hoy en día. Rechazó la idea de que la historia de la Tierra está dominada por sucesos catastróficos, estaba mas a favor del gradualismo.

Emigrants People of Angus Rev. Patrick Bell 1801 - 1869 The work was hard, giving people callouses on their hands and sore muscles from bending and stretching all day. Although the farmer would take on extra labour, the work had to be done quickly so that the harvest would be cut and gathered in before any bad weather at the end of the summer. Reaping machines, to do the cutting of the crops, had been invented since the 1st Century A.D. but it was not until 1827 that the first effective reaping machine made its appearance. His machine consisted of a frame, cutters and a piece of sloping canvas which would make the cut stalks go neatly to the side ready to be bound. By working in secrecy in his workshop and at the local smithy, he had aroused a great deal of local curiosity. He even tested his machine behind closed doors by planting already cut stalks of oats in his workshop floor, making them into man-made harvest. Believing he had perfected his machine in 1828, he wanted to test it on a real crop. He and his brother waited until a harvest night so no one would see them before they pushed his machine out to a ripe crop. When it worked perfectly, it was immediately put to effective use on his father's farm. Soon it was being manufactured locally and exhibited throughout Angus.

Devil's Dictionary of Evolution Biography of Charles Lyell (From: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 1910-1911) LYELL, SIR CHARLES (1797-1875), British geologist, was the eldest son of Charles Lyell of Kinnordy, Forfarshire, and was born on the 14th of November 1797, on the family estate in Scotland. 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
