  James Hutton - LoveToKnow 1911
JAMES HUTTON (1726-1797), Scottish geologist, was born in Edinburgh on the 3rd of June 1726.
In some of these broad and bold generalizations Hutton was anticipated by the Italian geologists; but to him belongs the credit of having first perceived their mutual relations, and combined them in a luminous coherent theory based upon observation.
Happily for science Hutton numbered among his friends John Playfair (q.v.), professor of mathematics in the university of Edinburgh, whose enthusiasm for the spread of Hutton's doctrine was combined with a rare gift of graceful and luminous exposition.

What Charles Babbage concluded was that the errors encountered in logarithmic tables could not be avoided until such time as a "calculating engine" might be employed to recalculate each of the logarithmic figures, which had not been done since the time of Briggs and Vlacq, and the figures then published without typographical error.
