Charles Lyell, Scottish-born British geologist, 19th century. In his highly influential Principles of Geology (1830-1833), Lyell (1797-1875) proposed that all geological features and phenomena were created by natural causes.

Lyell was a friend and supporter of the scientific views of Charles Darwin. Engraving after a portrait by George Richmond.
