Letter to The Geological Club, from Charles Lyell, 27 February 1874

Written by Arabella Buckley. Summarised as 'Lyell - answer to Geol. Club Testimonial'. Includes Lyell's comment "I can truly say that my fifty years of intercourse with the Club has been uninterrupted by a single jar. and if during so long a period as half a century many of my deariest friends & companions have, in the course of nature, passed away yet my feelings towards those of a younger generation who fill their places is one of the warmest interest & pleasure as I see them promoting with so much zeal & and talent the advance of my favourite science".
