  William Daniel Conybeare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Daniel Conybeare (June 7, 1787 - August 12, 1857), dean of Llandaff, one of the most distinguished of English geologists, who was born in London, was a grandson of John Conybeare, bishop of Bristol (1602-1785), a notable preacher and divine, and son of Dr William Conybeare, rector of Bishopsgate.
The original contributions of Conybeare formed the principal portion of this edition, of which only Part 1, dealing with the Carboniferous and newer strata, was published.
It affords evidence throughout of the extensive and accurate knowledge possessed by Conybeare; and it exercised a marked influence on the progress of geology in this country.

 Rocky Road: William Conybeare
William Conybeare was an astute scientist who devoted much of his life to paleontology, yet his interest in fossils came after his devotion to religion.
Conybeare found a jaw and a badly damaged skull that he believed to belong to the plesiosaur.
Conybeare eschewed mentioning Anning by name, and when he did refer to her, he used the term "proprietor" as if to emphasize that her only interest in fossils was monetary.

An intriguing relationship underlying the history of Conybeare's collation flourished in the last six months of his life between Conybeare and the young Frederic Madden, who became an employee of the British Museum in 1828 and later was its long-time Keeper of Manuscripts (1837-66).
Conybeare's library, he discovered, housed 'every volume in Saxon literature that had ever been published, except a few pages of a Saxon homily, which he had not got' (41).
An enduring value of Conybeare's original collation in his copy of Thorkelin is that it shows, by Conybeare's practice of under-pointing lost letters, the considerable amount of deterioration along the damaged edges of the manuscript in the time between the Thorkelin transcripts and his collation.

 Palaeos Paleozoic: Carboniferous: The Carboniferous Period
term Carboniferous - coal bearing - was proposed by the English geologist William Conybeare and William Phillips in a paper published in 1822 to designate coal-bearing strata in north-central England.
Conybeare and Phillips's Medial or Carboniferous Order included the Mountain or Carboniferous Limestone, Millstone Grit, and Coal Measures as it's three divisions.
Alexander Winchell proposed the name Mississippian in 1869 for Lower Carboniferous strata along the Mississippi River drainage region, and later, in 1891 Henry S. Williams suggested Pennsylvanian for the Upper Carboniferous.

Keill was one of the very important disciples gathered around Newton who transmitted his principles of philosophy to the scientific and intellectual community, thereby influencing the directions and emphases of Newtonianism.
While agreeing with them that the discoveries and doctrine of universal attraction of Newtonianism should play a crucial role in fighting “atheistic” Cartesianism and mechanical thinking, he rejected the notion that this should be accomplished exclusively or primarily by means of natural theology.
Although supposedly written specifically against the unscientific methods of the theories of Thomas Burnet and William Whiston, in substance it amounted to a very hostile attack—in the name of orthodoxy—on the delusions of “world-making” which were caused, Keill claimed, by Cartesian natural philosophy.

Of the great men from Cambridge's Trinity College who have made a significant contribution to the cause of Christ, F. Farrar (1831-1903), at one time a minister in London's famous Westminster Abbey and later Dean of Canterbury, deserves to be remembered.
