	James Hutton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		James Hutton was born in Edinburgh on 3 June 1726 and died on 26 March 1797.
		Hutton’s most intimate friends until he died were Joseph Black, often described as the founder of modern chemistry, and his former laboratory assistant, James Watt; among other friends were his executor, Adam Smith, and Adam Ferguson.
		Hutton’s philosophical reflections, particularly concerning time, causation, heat and the immensity of natural forces required, were central to his revolutionary geological claims.

		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 Huttons doctrine was combined with a rare gift of graceful and luminous exposition.
		Five years after Huttons death he published a volume, Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory of the Earth, in which he gave an admirable summary of that theory, with numerous additional illustrations and arguments.
