Adam Sedgwick (1785 1873) is chiefly remembered as one of the
founders of modern geology and an early mentor of Charles Darwin.
Originally published in 1890, this two-part collection is composed
of extensive extracts from Sedgwick's letters together with a rich,
detailed account of his life and work. Both volumes are thoroughly
researched and edited by J. W. Clark, with assistance from T. M.
Hughes. Sedgwick was a contradictory figure who combined devotion
to science with a conservatism borne of his strong religious
beliefs. Whilst the text is limited in its portrayal of these
contradictions as a result of proximity to its subject, this
remains a well-rounded portrait that will be of value to anyone
with an interest in geology or the history of science. Volume I
covers the period 1785 to 1840.
