 File — Box: Box 3.2
Identifier: Coll-203/B1/50

Scope and Contents

This letter has no summary. Haidinger writes to Lyell from Dornbach, Vienna. First, he thanks Lyell for the invitation he received for the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Bath, which was in September 1864, where Lyell delivered the presidential address. He also congratulates Lyell on being given the title of Baronet by the British crown, which he received earlier this same year. Haidinger mentions his own work at the Imperial Geological Institute. Haidinger concludes by expressing his sympathy for the loss of Lyell's father-in-law [Leonard Horner] earlier in the year and mentions his own time living in Edinburgh from 1823 to 1827.
