	Henry De la Beche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De la Beche spent his early life living with his mother in Lyme Regis, where he acquired a love for geology.
		De la Beche appealed to the authorities to provide a larger structure and to widen the whole scope of the scientific establishment of which he was the head.
		De la Beche published numerous memoirs on English geology in the Transactions of the Geological Society of London, as well as in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey, notably the Report on the Geology of Cornwall, Devon and West Somerset (1839).

	Rocky Road: Henry De la Beche
		In 1834, Roderick Impey Murchison — one of De la Beche's fellow gentleman scientists — was publicizing his "discovery" that a rock formation known as the Greywacke (or Grauwacke) predated the appearance of terrestrial plants.
		De la Beche shipped a box of his newly discovered fossils to an expert for identification with the understated note, "the specimens, as I need not tell you, acquire considerable interest." They also acquired Murchison's considerable animosity — he had already suppressed the paper of another gentleman geologist who contradicted his hypothesis.
		De la Beche's career actually marked the beginning of a transition in geology as more geologists began to pursue the science as paid professionals.

		De la Beebe published numerous memoirs on English geology in the Transactions of the Geological Society of London, as well as in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey, notably the Report on the Geology of Cornwall, Devon and West Somerset (5839).
		The patrimony he inherited, or perhaps it should be said, what remained of it, was 10,000 livres de rente, and with economy he lived on this, and continued the expensive process of painting large historical pictures.
		In 1845 he was employed to decorate the library of the Luxembourg, that of the chamber of deputies in 1847, the ceiling of the gallery of Apollo in the Louvre in 1849 and that of the Salon de la Paix in the hotel de ville in 1853.

	Chapter 1.4: Discovery as Negotiation: The Great Devonian Controversy
		When De la Beche did a survey in Devonshire in 1834, he found evidence to accord with his presuppositions--that fossil plants existed throughout the Greywacke, and therefore coal could be found in Greywacke as well.
		De la Beche initially won Sedgwick's support, in part on the grounds that Murchison had found no distinctive Greywacke fossils and therefore his case hung on the absence of fossils, rather than on the presence of a distinct variety.
		De la Beche's primary source of income was the survey, so he had to proceed in a way that antagonized as few geologists as possible.

		In the year 1540, she was brought to Court, perhaps with the intention of captivating Henry, by the agency of the Catholic party, then swayed by Bishop Gardiner; and she was secretly married to the King in the July of that year.
		Henry was utterly taken aback when he discovered evidence of this and of the immorality of his wife's past life.

		However, De la Beche found that the coal deposits already known to be in Devonshire were an integral part of the surrounding rock.
		De la Beche had made a mapping error and it turned out that the coal deposits were at the top of the Devonshire strata rather than in the middle.
		As "Baconians," both Phillips and De la Beche think that the appropriate theories will be produced by "induction" from a sufficient catalogue of facts.

		Henry De La Beche was one of a new breed of geologists who actually had to work for a living.
		In the end, the science of geology was helped by the fight - furious though it was - and De La Beche could be said to have pioneered the career of the professional geologist, transforming what had been a pastime for the priveleged few into a serious career option for many.

		For example, De la Beche promoted colliding theory graphics, or the accurate portrayal of the earth's sections and scenes that would remain valuable for future generations of geologists.
		De la Beche designed and drew scientific caricatures that encapsulated the theoretical debates of the day, as well as the social, cultural, and historical influences on the emerging theories of geology.
		We argue that because of his introduction and development of several important genres of visual explanation, Henry T. De la Beche should be considered the Father of Visual Geology Education.

		Lewis Lewellyn (pictured) was the son-in-law of Sir Henry T. de la Beche, founder of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and MP for Swansea (1855-1892) - which perhaps explains why two streets in that city are named after de la Beche.
		He married De la Beche's daughter in 1838, and although he and De la Beche carried out a series of experiments on china clays and granites with a view to improving the production of earthenware, he seems to have had no great interest in science (even though he was FLS and FGS).
		In addition to De la Beche Street in the centre of Swansea and De la Beche Road in Sketty, there is also a De la Beche Terrace in Morriston.

		Geologist and amateur artist Henry De la Beche went so far as to paint "a more ancient Dorset," a cheerful depiction of marine life, representing many of the fossils Anning collected, to rouse public interest in her fossils.
		Occasional rumors linked De la Beche and Anning romantically, but these might have stemmed from the simple fact that De la Beche, unlike some of his contemporaries and even close friends, was willing to acknowledge Anning's role in science.
		Like De la Beche, Gideon Mantell was inclined to recognize her contributions; William Conybeare was less so.
