Title: | Charles lyell from 1832 to 1835: Marriage, Principles, 2 trips to Heidelberg, snails and loess | Authors: | Smalley I. Marković, Slobodan O'Hara-Dhand K. |
Issue Date: | 1-Mar-2010 | Journal: | Central European Journal of Geosciences | Abstract: | Charles Lyell, on his way to becoming a famous geologist, married Mary Horner in Bonn in July 1832; volume 3 of his 'Principles of Geology' was published by John Murray in London in May 1833. Between these two dates Lyell encountered the loess of the Rhine valley. The loess impressed Lyell and he included mentions of it in the Principles, first in 1833 and then, with some revised ideas, in volume 4 of the 4th edition published in 1835. Twelve editions of the Principles were published between 1830 and 1875 and it became one of the most important works in the development of geology, and made a major contribution to the worldwide spread of loess awareness. It is possible that Lyell was drawn to the loess because of its high molluscan content, he was particularly attracted to the study of shells. © Versita Warsaw. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/14104 | ISSN: | 18961517 | DOI: | 10.2478/v10085-009-0040-5 |
