James Hutton : exploration and oceanography / Jean Jones.
Abstract:
"James Hutton is known to have regarded exploration as an important source of geological knowledge, and to have studied the accounts of travelers with close attention. Unpublished letters in the Fitzwellian Museum, Cambridge, however, show that he was more actively involved in exploration than had been previously thought ... His interest in oceanography, which has not been discussed before, is found to complement his work in meteorology."
