Description
This brown leather notebook contains two different handwriting styles, one definitively Lyell's. On p. 65 is "The Landing of the Pilgrims fathers in New England" dated 13 July 1851, handwriting differs from Lyell's; largely notes in pencil, subjects include Captain Cook on Mercia earthquake, volcanic activity, Sandwich island. The front cover reads "June 1831", the back page is missing, and the index is pasted to the back cover.
