MILLER, Hugh
A lengthy Autograph Letter Signed Hugh Miller to Colonel Ross investigating irregularities of marriage in Scotland and elsewhere discussing marriage contracts Broughams arguments on these comments on Robertsons Treatise raising difficulties such as whether a lunatic can enter a contract of marriage and much else on this subject
Cromarty11 October 1830. About 1000 words on 3 pp. 9 x 7 inches address panel in very good clean condition. Hugh Miller 18021856 considered one of Scotland's most influential Victorian palaeontologists geologist evangelical journalist and writer. Miller tackled the great question of the time taking full part in the public debate on pre-Darwinian evolutionary ideas provoked notably by Robert Chambers's Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation 1844. In Footprints of the Creator 1849 and The Testimony of the Rocks 1857 Miller argued that the appearance of complex animals early in the fossil record refuted such naïve ideas of simple progression from primitive to advanced organisms. This valid objection was not refuted until after Miller's death by Charles Darwin's non-progressionist theory of natural selection. DNB unknown

Miller, Hugh, 1802-1856
An autobiography : My schools and schoolmasters; or The story of my education.
Boston Gould and Lincoln 59 Washington Street 1854 1854. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. 1st edition 1st printing; xiv 537 p. front. port. 20 cm. ; LC: QE22.M5; LA651.7; Dewey: B ; OCLC: 2575760 ; LCCN: e 15-2671 ; dark green blind stamped cloth with gold lettering ; "Curiosity must be awakened ere it can be satisfied; nay once awakened it never fails in the end fully to satisfy itself; and it has occurred to me that by simply laying before the working men of the country the "Story of my Education" I may succeed in first exciting their curiosity and next occasionally at least in gratifying it also. They will find that by far the best schools I ever attended are schools open to them all-that the best teachers I ever had are though severe in their discipline always easy of access-and that the special form at which I was if I may say so most successful as a pupil was a form to which I was drawn by a strong inclination but at which I had less assistance from my brother men or even from books than at any of the others. There are few of the natural sciences which do not lie quite as open to the working men of Britain and America as geology did to me." ; Partial Contents: The little boy of the farm-house.-His early education.-Enters the navy.-A mutfay and its happy termination.-Instance of great physical strength.-Quits the service.-Subsequent adventures.-Enters the coasting trade.-The master's home.-Unhappy accidents.-The curate of Nigg.-Vessel lost in a storm.-Jack's narrative of the shipwreck.-A second marriage.-Terrible anger of a good-natured man-My birth and parentage.-Mythologic character of the recollections of early childhood.-My father lost in a storm on the sea.-An apparition.-A dreary season-Stanzas.-My early education and reading.-Donald Roy.-Supernatural element in the religious character of the Highlanders.-Donald become a Seceder-Some account of his descendants.-My two uncles-Blind Harry's " Wallace" and Its effects upon me.-Enter the grammar school-Early Individual development correspondent with an early national one-Lessons learned at the grammar school.-Bellicose peat expeditions.-The parish schoolmaster.-My progress in Latin.-Development of a talent for story telling.-Became a sort of favorite with the master.-Old Francle the retired clerk and his curious collections.-Lessons learned on the sea-shore.-The black mica and garnet crystals of Cromarty.-Exploration of Cromarty Hill.-Curious anecdotes of crabs and lobsters.-Notices of the lump-fish.-Amphitrites and their masonry.-Dye fish and beautiful exolic shells.-Superstition of the townspeople.-An apparition.-Clan stories and legends-Work In the Cromarty quarries.-Curious property of Flounders.-Libellula-Symbolism of ancient Celtic sculpture.- Poor lame-Resolve to seek my fortune among the stone-cutters of Edinburgh.-Thoughts of a home In the backwoods of America.-Robert Chambers and his journal.-Ichthyotitic deposits of the old red sandstone-these have no representative among recent fishes.-Mr. Dinkel's alleged restoration of the Cephalaspeans disproved.-Cheiracanthus and Cheirolepsis.--Evening excursions to Moray Frith.-Triumph of the Liberals over Presbyterlal bigotry.-An ability of efficient squabbling proved to be a very marketable one.-Memoir of William Forsyth.-A sad bereavement-Critical position of the Church-It is defended In a letter to Lord Brougham-great success of the pamphlet.- Reflections on the past ; foxing ; binders label on back endpapers ; "Born in Cromarty he was educated in a parish school where he reportedly showed a love of reading. At 17 he was apprenticed to a stonemason which led him to the study of geology. In 1829 he published a volume of poems and soon afterwards became involved in political and religious controversies. in 1856 Miller suffered severe headaches and mental distress and the most probable diagnosis is of psychotic depression. He committed suicide shooting himself in the chest with a revolver fearing that he might otherwise harm his wife or children."--wikipedia ; FAIR <br/> <br/> Boston, Gould and Lincoln, 59 Washington Street, 1854 hardcover

Autograph letter signed to Edward Charlesworth
Edinburgh 1851. <p>Miller Hugh 1802-56. Autograph letter signed to Edward Charlesworth 1803-93. 1 page plus integral blank. Edinburgh 21 February 1851. 201 x 126 mm. Small tears along fold not affecting text traces of former mounting light soiling along folds but very good. Docketed by recipient. </p> <p>From Scottish paleontologist and geologist Hugh Miller author of works of popular science including The Old Red Sandstone 1841 Footprints of the Creator 1850 and The Testimony of the Rocks 1856 to fellow paleontologist Edward Charlesworth editor of the Magazine of Natural History. </p> <p>"I am glad to see you have added a . shell column to your columns of British Fossils. Please set me down as a subscriber for a £2 . . set; as also for a £2 . . set of the fossils of the Mountain Limestone . . . I am at present engaged with printers and woodengravers in getting up a fourth edition of my little work the "Footprints" which will contain prints of a few curious unique organisms picked up since I had the pleasure of seeing you in Autumn last . . ."</p> <p>Although he had little formal scientific training Miller made important contributions to paleontology including the discovery of several previously unknown species of fossil fish. A deeply religious man Miller believed that "the fossil record confirmed in broad outline the cosmic drama depicted symbolically in the Bible" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. His geological studies had convinced him of the Earth's great age but he held that the fossil record represented separate creations rather than the transmutation of species over time. His Footprints of the Creator was intended as a rebuttal of the evolutionary theory put forth in Robert Chambers's Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation 1844. The fourth edition of Footprints mentioned in Miller's letter came out in 1853. Miller's letter is on the letterhead of The Witness a Scottish evangelical newspaper of which he was the editor.</p> . unknown
