    THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN CHARLES LYELL AND HIS FAMILY AND GIDEON ALGERNON MANTELL: 1821 - 1852 Transcribed and Annotated by Alan John Wennerbom A supplementary volume to the thesis Charles Lyell and Gideon Mantell, 1821-1852: Their Quest for Elite Status in English Geology, submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Unit for the History University of Sydney and Philosophy of Science February 1999 1 Charles Lyell to G. A. Mantell 29 Norfolk St. Strand Nov 3 1821. My dear Sir Your letter was forwarded to me here from the country some days since wh I have delayed answering in the hopes of being able to procure you some little information. I dispatched my packet to you as soon as I returned from my Sussex tour, I believe on the 11 th. or 12 th.of Octr. as you will see I suppose by my letter.1 They did not reach you it seems till the 25th. A fortnight from Southton to Lewes! This was unlucky, for had I known how much they w.d interest you I would have forwarded you a large collection at Stonesfield. Will you endeavour to ascertain the cause of the Waggon’s delay, for it strikes me as so careless that I am afraid to ask you to send any to Bartley Lodge – Southhampton2 lest they sh.d be lost on the way. If you can send me any be sure they are duplicates & only such as you have or can procure in abundance, for as I only wish them for instruction & have no choice cabinet, you would throw away your pearls.

  • Charles Lyell and Gideon Mantell, 1821 - 1852: Their Quest for Elite Status in English Geology
    CHARLES LYELL AND GIDEON MANTELL, 1821 - 1852: THEIR QUEST FOR ELITE STATUS IN ENGLISH GEOLOGY. Alan John Wennerbom A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Unit for the History University of Sydney and Philosophy of Science May 1999 SYNOPSIS An analysis of the correspondence between Charles Lyell and Gideon Mantell from 1821 to 1852, in conjunction with other manuscript material, highlights the contrasting backgrounds and geological careers of the two men. It is also characterised by two underlying themes: the nature and timing of their geological work; and the influence of various social factors on their career plans and desire to achieve high social and scientific status. In turn, these points raise several wider issues and inter-related questions concerning the following aspects of English geology in the first half of the nineteenth century. · When, why and how did an elite group of geologists emerge in England during this period? Who were its members and what were their characteristics in common? · What was the nature and scope of the geological work carried out by the identified elite? In what way did it differ from Mantell’s? · What social and other barriers did Mantell encounter in his search for scientific and social status? What were the critical factors? In this thesis these issues are examined on a decade-by-decade basis, in three main chapters, as a prelude to examining the central question of why Mantell, unlike Lyell, did not achieve the status of an elite geologist. First, an elite group of English geologists is identified through a series of prosopographic and ‘screening’ analyses of all members of council of the Geological Society of London (GSL).

Novum Organum, Pr&fatio. LONDON: PRINTED BY R. AND A. TAYLOR, SHOE LANE. SOLD AT THE HOUSE OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, No. 20, BEDFORD STREET, COVENT GARDEN. 1822. NOTICE. THE Council of the Geological Society have recently taken upon themselves the charge and management of the publication of their TRANSACTIONS, for the purpose of reducing the price, and thereby promoting the diffusion of Geological information. With this view they have adopted a page more full than that of the preceding volumes, and have employed Lithographic Plates instead of Engravings on Copper, wherever the substitution could be effected without injury to the correct illustration of the subjects represented. As the Transactions of the Geological Society will thus assume a form in some measure new, the Council, for the convenience of purchasers, have deter­ mined to commence a New Series of volumes;—the portion now published being the First Part of Volume I. Second Series. LONDON, June 21, 1822. OFFICERS AND COUNCIL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ELECTED FEBRUARY 1, 1822. PRESIDENT. WILLIAM BABINGTON, M.D. F.R.S. VICE-PRESIDENTS. Rev.
