  Charles Lyell letter to "Dear Sir,"

  Manuscripts

  Letter from Charles Lyell to an unnamed recipient (possibly James Hague) in which he gives directions to a February 17, 1871 meeting of the Geological Society. He also describes changes he would like to have made to Elements of Geology, particularly in regards to the "tertiary age of the fissure" of a lode from which "vast quantities of . . . precious metals" had been extracted. A copy of the book was apparently sent with the letter, and Lyell asks the recipient for further suggestions on revision.
