Excerpt from James Geikie: The Man and the Geologist This biography of Prof. James Geikie is based upon his own letters, papers, and diaries, and upon infor mation supplied by many of those who were closely associated with him, both during his earlier days on the Geological Survey and the later in Edinburgh. Much of the material was Sorted and arranged by Mrs Geikie before it was placed in my hands, and to her I am indebted for many notes, memoranda, and verbal statements which supplemented the documents supplied. Mrs Geikie had herself composed, for the use of the family, a brief account of her husband's early days, and on this manuscript the first chapter is largely based; without its aid the composition of that chapter would have been very difficult. For later years I am under great obligations to Prof. Geikie's many friends and correspondents, at home and abroad. Correspondents across the seas, especially, deserve warm thanks for their willingness to trust valuable original documents to the post, at a time when the phrase perils of the sea had taken on a new meaning. It is satisfactory to be able to state that in no case was such material lost as a result of hostile action. Prof. Stevenson of New York and Prof. Chamberlin of Chicago must be specially mentioned as having supplied much material.
