| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from George Poulett SCROPE, Castle Combe, Wiltshire, 5 Nov 1835. Re: Sorry to have missed seeing Murchison on his return from his Silurian investigations and jokes that the forthcoming book will 'burst upon us all...like a volcano', wonders about the possible volcanic geology of Cappodocia and thinks it will interest Charles Lyell as it is similar to his 'Arabian story' which Scrope suspected him of inventing. |
