Lyell first came to America in 1841, remaining for more than a year and touring widely. His immediate reason for the journey was to deliver the prestigious Lowell lectures in Boston. His larger purpose was to study the geology of North America, hoping that the vast scale of the continent - its mountain ranges, plains, Great Lakes, and rivers - would confirm his belief in the uniformity of geological history.

Distinguished historians of science give an appraisal of Sir Charles Lyell's life and works, and his influence through his travels across Europe and North America. Leading geologists assess Lyell's subsequent influence on climatology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, coal geology, regional tectonics, volcanology and natural hazards. Modern geological research constructed upon Lyell's legacy illustrates its wealth, 200 years on from his birth.

His boyhood home in the New Forest gave him large opportunities for the cultivation of the natural sciences, toward which he had a strong inclination He was a student in Exeter College, Oxford, and was graduated in 1821- He immediately began the study of law, entering Lincoln's Inn, and in 1825 was called to the bar. But his favorite science drew him away from the legal profession, and he became a geologist, a friend and companion of his former Oxford professor of geology, Dr. Buckland, In 1819 he was elected a member of the Lmnean and Geological Societies; and in 1822 he read his first paper, "On the Marls of Forfarshire," before the latter society.
