	Adam Sedgwick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adam Sedgwick (March 22, 1785 – January 27, 1873) was one of the founders of modern geology.
		Sedgwick is said to have remarked, upon being appointed Woodwardian Professor, "Hitherto I have never turned a stone; henceforth I will leave no stone unturned." In 1822 he carried out fieldwork unraveling the complex geology of the Lake District of northern England, armed with the new discoveries and techniques of William Smith.
		Sedgwick's own geological views were generally catastrophic -- he believed that the history of the Earth had been marked by a series of cataclysmic events which had destroyed much of the Earth's life.

		The speaker was Reverend Adam Sedgwick, Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge University, and at the time of his 'recantation' President of the Geological Society of London.
		Sedgwick's rejection of a hypothesis which was contradicted by the empirical evidence, despite his religious beliefs, is the act of the true scientist, and stands in stark contrast to the example provided by modern young-earth creationists.
		Sedgwick's actions are a credit to science, and his expression of continued faith in the historicity of a global flood despite the now acknowledged lack of evidence does credit to his personal level of faith.

		Sedgwick asserted that the religion of nature and the religion of the Bible were in perfect harmony.
		One, Sedgwick’s system was rooted in the belief that man had some inherent goodness, contrary to the teaching of Scripture and the articles of the Church of England concerning the total depravity of man. Secondly, the fruit of Sedgwick’s system was the fostering of pride in the minds of those who think themselves good.
		Sedgwick mentioned in passing ‘the Buggs, the Penns—the Nolans and the Formans’, but did not explicitly refer to any geologically informed critics during the years 1822–34, such as Young, Ure and Fairholme.

		The following letter from the renowned geologist, Professor Adam Sedgwick, of Cambridge University, England, addressed to General Charles F. Sedgwick, of Sharon, Connecticut, contains much valuable information relative to the family of Major General Robert Sedgwick, who is the ancestor of all the Sedgwicks in New England.
		The name of Sedgwick was, I believe, a corruption given like many others through a wish to explain the meaning of a name (Siggeswick,) the real import of which was quite forgotten.
		The arms most commonly borne by the Sedgwicks, are composed of a red Greek cross, with five bells attached to the bars.

		William Smith, whom Sedgwick called the “father of English Geology,”; became interested in the structure of the earth’s crust, at first, from a land-surveyor’s and engineer’s point of view.
		He was one of the earliest to recognise that each of the strata he studied carefully contains animal and plant fossils peculiar to itself, by which it can be identified.
		Further he is responsible for introducing many terms—“arbitrary and somewhat uncouth,” as Sedgwick remarked—which have become the verbal currency of British geology.

	Style: The traffic in men: female kinship in three novels by George Eliot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If, as Rubin says, a traffic in women makes a woman "the conduit of a relationship rather than a partner to it" (174), not only is the real partnership between the men, but it also expresses certain rights that men have to their female kin that women do not have to themselves.
		Sedgwick traces this plot trajectory as part of a much larger economic shift from a preindustrial world in which women's work, located at the very site of production (the farmhouse), can offer the kind of authority represented by Dinah's aunt Mrs.
		But I would like to add to Sedgwick's observation that Adam Bede also puts Dinah into another triangle in which her kinship with Adam's lost first love, Hetty Sorrel, is essential to her later relationship with Adam.

	John William Salter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1842 he was employed for a short time by Adam Sedgwick in arranging the fossils in the Woodwardian Museum at Cambridge, and he accompanied the professor on several geological expeditions (1842-1845) into Wales.
		In 1846 he was appointed on the staff of the Geological Survey and worked under Edward Forbes until 1854; he was then appointed palaeontologist to the survey and gave his chief attention to the Palaeozoic fossils, spending much time in Wales and the border counties.
		He contributed the palaeontological portion to Andrew Crombie Ramsay's Memoir on the Geology of North Wales (1866), assisted Roderick Murchison in his work on Siluria (1854 and later editions), and Sedgwick by preparing A Catalogue of the Collection of Cambrian and Silurian Fossils contained in the Geological Museum of the University of Cambridge (1873).
