| Administrative History | On 5 June 1839, Council requested that the President, William Buckland, set up a new Map Committee to oversee the production of the second edition of Greenough's 'Geological Map of England & Wales. The first meeting was held on 20 November 1839. Buckland appointed Henry Warburton, Greenough & John Taylor to committee. William Lonsdale was to act as secretary.
Greenough again underwrote the expenses for the drafting of the Geological Map [£718 2s 5d], but the Society was to organise any matters connected with its printing, colouring and sale. Income from the sales of the Map were to first defray these costs, thereafter Greenough would be recompensed. |
