	Sir Henry Thomas De La Beche - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR HENRY THOMAS DE LA BECHE (1796-1855), English geologist, was born in the year T 796.
		The British colonies, also, have in many instances established similar surveys for the development of their mineral resources, and have had recourse to the parent survey for advice and for officers to conduct the operations.
		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.

	The Great Devonian Controversy, by Martin J. S. Rudwick
		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.
		After Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and its spinoffs in "deconstruction" and "post-modernism," a dominant view in many circles, at least outside of science itself, is that the "truth" of scientific theories is not determined by evidence or empirical data but by social "power" relationships.

		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.

		His successor, Henry Moore, who administered the affairs of the island from 1756 to 1762 (with a short interval in 1759), did much to pacify the angry feelings raised by Knowles, and was rewarded with a baronetcy.
		The visits of Thomas Coke, the methodist bishop (a title disapproved by Wesley), to the island, in 1790 and again in 1795 and 1805, are kept in memory by the name of Coke Chapel in Kingston.
		Sir Henry Thomas de la Beche, the well-known geologist, visited his paternal estate of of Halse Hall in Clarendon in 1824, and soon afterwards published his "Notes on the present condition of the negroes in Jamaica" – an interesting account of his estate and the manner in which its working was carried on.

		Use of the principle of superposition to order strata was made difficult by their folding (he coined the word synclinorium for an area of folds in which younger strata are exposed centrally).
		However, in 1834, Henry Thomas de la Beche (1796–1855) found that the coal measures of Devonshire collieries are conformable within the graywackes, and that the coal plants in them are all but identical to Carboniferous plants.
		Murchison had earlier decided that in contrast to the defining coals of Carboniferous strata that overlie the ORS, a defining feature of the graywackes that underlie the ORS was the absence of coals.

	Researches in theoretical geology. : de la Beche, (Henry Thomas)
		"By undertaking a census of the strata De la Beche also hoped to transform the basis of geological philosophy.
		His Researches in Theoretical Geology (1834) had agreed with Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) in advocating close study of processes in action, but it went on to argue, against Lyell, that this would often point up differences between the present and the past.
		De la Beche accepted, as did most contemporaries, evidence that the earth was gradually cooling, and that its history had been marked by large-scale catastrophes.

		Henry de la Beche compiled his Sections and Views to "induce geologists to present us with sections more conformable to nature than is usually done." He was a gifted draftsman, and he believed that a simple pencil sketch could convey more useful information than an elaborate engraving.
		For this plate, he began with MacCulloch’s engravings of Staffa, Fingal’s Cave, and the Scuir of Egg (see exhibit item 50), and reduced them to what he considered their essential elements.
		This continues a tradition that we saw in Conybeare's map (see exhibit item 51), and the same color scheme is later echoed in the illustrations of Cunningham (see exhibit item 55), where the whinstone (basalt) is tinted a nearly identical shade of green.

		There were heated debates and arguments among the members of the British "Geological Society," based in London, in roughly the last half of the 1830's, over the mapping and interpretation of the geological strata of the county of Devonshire.
		The leading geologists of the day, Roderick Murchison and Adam Sedgwick had mapped the strata in Wales and established the classic Silurian and Cambrian systems, and did not believe the results of mapping undertaken of what were considered similar rocks by their colleague Henry Thomas De la Beche in Devonshire.
		Following the presentation of various views, counterviews and arguments, Murchison in 1839 was forced to give up his original ideas, largely through his own scientific re-interpretation, and the Devonian was coined by him as a period of time to cover the rock sequence described by De la Beche.
