Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Yorkshire Geological and Polytechnic Society, 1837-1887: With Biographical Notices of Some of Its Members With the close of the first fifty years of the existence of this Society and the celebration of its Jubilee, came a desire that its history, so far as it could be gleaned, together with some notice of its principal members, should be written the Council of the Society did me the honour to place this important trust in my hands. The work has presented some difficulties, and reliable information referring to its early years has proved scarce, notwithstanding this it is hoped that a work of some interest, even beyond the circle of the members of the Society, has been produced.
