Description
This notebook contains field and travel notes by Charles Lyell while in North America, traveling between Philadelphia and Boston. There are multiple sketches and sections of geological formations, notes of lecture tickets and items 'to do' on certain dates, notes referring to lectures attended, and items borrowed. Page 67 is a sketch which appears to be Lyell planning the coloured illustration of Niagara as featured in 'Travels'. Page 74 appears to show the layout of Lyell's lectures.
