William Smith, English Geologist
Bildnummer 12650028
| William Strata Smith (1769-1839) was an English geologist, credited with creating the first nationwide geological map. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community. His humble education and family connections preventing him from mixing easily in learned society. His maps were soon plagiarized and sold for prices lower than he was asking. He went into debt and finally became bankrupt. He was sent to debtor's prison and upon his release had his home and property seized. He worked as an itinerant surveyor for many years. Between 1824 and 1826 he lived and worked in Scarborough, and was responsible for the building of the Rotunda, a geological museum devoted to the Yorkshire coast. It was not until February 1831 that the Geological Society of London conferred on Smith the first Wollaston Medal in recognition of his achievement. | |
