 SMITH, WILLIAM (GEOLOGIST) - LoveToKnow Article on SMITH, WILLIAM (GEOLOGIST)
SMITH, WILLIAM (1760-1839), English geologist, appropriately termed " the Father of English geology," and known among his acquaintances as " Strata Smith," was born at Churchill in Oxfordshire on the 23rd of March 1769.
The uncle was, however, better satisfied when the boy, after studying the rudiments of geometry and surveying, began to take interest in the draining of land; and there is no doubt that William Smith profited in after life by the practical experience he gained with his relative.
He signed his name W. Smith, and has sometimes been confused with the playwright Wentworth Smith, who collaborated with John Day, William Haughton and others (1601-1603).

Williams, the Springbok threequarter danger-man. And it is one of the vagaries of selection that "Bill" Phillips was relegated to the reserves for the 3rd Test.
