First published in 1894, this biography details the life of
renowned geologist William Buckland (1784 1856) who, along with
Sedgwick and Lyell, was one of the pioneers of modern geological
inquiry. While he is better known for attempting to correlate his
geological findings with the Old Testament, Buckland's studies
paved the way for Darwin's development of evolutionary theory. In
the course of his illustrious career, Buckland was a Canon of
Christ Church, was twice appointed President of the Geological
Society, served as the first President of the British Association,
and became Dean of Westminster. Penned by Buckland's daughter
almost forty years after his death, The Life and Correspondence
provides a more personal insight into Buckland's scientific
endeavours. Gordon's biography is complemented by several
illustrations, and the appendices include an extensive list of
positions held by Buckland and his membership of learned societies,
and a complete index of his publications.
