Johnson Professor Eugene A. TeSelle Professor Richard F. Haglund Professor James P. Byrd William Buckland “The evidences afforded by the sister sciences exhibit indeed the most admirable proofs of design originally exerted at the Creation: but many who admit these proofs still doubt the continued superintendence of that intelligence, maintaining that the system of the Universe is carried on by the force of the laws originally impressed upon matter…. Such an opinion … nowhere meets with a more direct and palpable refutation, than is afforded by the subserviency of the present structure of the earth’s surface to final causes; for that structure is evidently the result of many and violent convulsions subsequent to its original formation. When therefore we perceive that the secondary causes producing these convulsions have operated at successive epochs, not blindly and at random, but with a direction to beneficial ends, we see at once the proofs of an overruling Intelligence continuing to superintend, direct, modify, and control the operation of the agents, which he originally ordained.” – The Very Reverend William Buckland (1784-1856), DD, FRS, Reader in Geology and Canon of Christ Church at the University of Oxford, President of the Geological Society of London, President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Dean of Westminster.

His first employment was as a land surveyor (1). Then in 1793 he became both, canal surveyor (2), and engineer, (3) to the Somerset Coal Canal (SCC). These had guaranteed him a regular, and known, income. But this suddenly changed, when he was successively dismissed, first as surveyor, then as engineer, in 1799. He now had to find some other means of supporting himself, and the geological revelations, which he knew were so important, that he had uncovered in Somerset. In the mid-1790s, he had done some land drainage and irrigation work (4), for the chairman of the SCC, and immediately after his dismissals, was able to generate an adequate living from such work around Bath, during a period of very high rainfall.

  • Short Walks Group
    SHORT WALKS GROUP We’ve been blessed with good weather this spring so have been able to walk each month though the March walk had to be altered as the ground was so boggy and muddy. 11th March The walk was changed to a shortish road walk from the Derby Arms at Witherslack with refreshments at the pub afterwards. A good group of walkers joined the walk including my husband Chris on his scooter. After a spell of bad weather everyone was delighted to have a pleasant day and get out and enjoy a walk. We walked the old road to Millside and then up the quiet lane to Beckhead where the stream appears from under the rocks – a wonderfully tranquil spot. We carried on a short distance to where the lane ends and stopped for coffee. We then retraced our steps past some wonderful houses at Beckhead to Millside where we deviated down a short path to see the old millwheel- now part of someone’s garden. Back to the road we wound our way along the quiet lanes back to the Derby Arms for a welcome drink. 8th April It was a cold but bright day, and nineteen intrepid walkers gathered in Gummer’s Howe Car Park. A very pleasant 5 miler on good paths across pasture and fell side with magnificent views all the way lay ahead. We were all surprised how busy the car park was, but then realised that it was half term for Cumbria. Several family groups were headed for Gummer’s Howe, but not us.

  • Sir J. Arthur Thomson. 379 Sir J. Arthur
    Sir J. Arthur Thomson. 379 Sir J. Arthur Thomson, M.A., LL.D. ON February 12, 1933, within two years of his retiral from the Chair of Natural History at the University of Aberdeen, where he had taught with great effect for thirty-one years, J. Arthur Thomson succumbed to a heart illness at his home at Limpsfield, Surrey. He will be most widely remembered for the success of his endeavours to bring scientific knowledge home to the plain man, but his zoological investigations and philosophical essays bear witness besides to much activity in the cause of knowledge for itself. Born in 1861 at Saltoun in East Lothian, Thomson graduated M.A. at the University of Edinburgh in 1880. A son and grandson of the manse, he aimed at the ministry and completed the divinity course at New College; but the pull of heredity (his grandfather was Dr David Landsborough of the little books on seaweed and zoophytes), and the influence of his teachers, Alleyne Nicholson, Dickson, Cossar Ewart, Geikie, Rutherford, and others, determined his course towards the study of Nature. His post-graduate experience was wide: in 1883-4 he was working in Ernst Haeckel's zoological laboratory at Jena, in 1884 he moved on to Professor Delage's marine laboratory at Caen, and in 1885 he was concentrating upon the histology of sponges in F. Eilhard Schultze's laboratory in Berlin. On his return to Edinburgh in 1886 he began the teaching career which was to place many generations of students of biology deeply in his debt. Following upon a variety of lecture courses in Edinburgh and occasional experience as substitute for Professor Haddon in Dublin, Professor Prince in Glasgow, and Professor Henry Drummond in Glasgow Free Church College, in 1899 he was appointed by the then Secretary for Scotland, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, to the Regius Chair of Natural History at the University of Aberdeen, left vacant through the death of Henry Alleyne Nicholson.

    HOGG Newsletter of the History of Geology Group of The Geological Society Number 68 February 2020 Front cover WILLIAM AUGUSTUS EDMOND USSHER (1849‒1920), the centenary of whose death is remembered this year. Born in County Galway, Ireland in 1849, Ussher joined the Geological Survey of Great Britain (now British Geological Survey) in 1868 and spent his whole career (retiring in 1909) as a field and mapping surveyor. He is best known for his work in the south-west of England (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset), particularly his work on the Devonian, Carboniferous and Triassic strata. In 1894, he was awarded the Geological Society’s Murchison Medal. Many Survey maps and memoirs bear his name as does the Ussher Society founded in 1962 as a focus for geological research in south-west England. Originally published under the title Proceedings of the Ussher Society, its journal was renamed Geoscience in South-West England in 1998. Sources Anon. 1920. Obituary of Mr W. A. E. Ussher.
