OTLEY AS A GEOLOGIST. 



But Jonathan Otley ranks far higher than a mere guide-book maker, 

 He was most decidedly the pioneer of Geology in this district ; and as the 

 one who laid the first stones upon which Sedgwick and others have built 

 a superstructure, we owe him all honour and thanks. His writings are 

 not numerous, nor is this to be expected ; but whatever he did write he 

 wrote with much care, and always plainly to the point, and with great 

 good sense. The following is a list of his various writings : — 



18 19. Account of the Floating Island in Derwent Lake, Keswick. 

 — Mem. Lit. d^ Phil. Soc. Manchester. Ser. 2, vol. iii., p. 64. 



1819. Account of the Black Lead Mine in Borrowdale. — Ibid-g. 168. 



1820. Remarks on the Succession of the Rocks in the District of 

 the Lakes. — Phil. Mag. vol. Ivi. p. 257. (From the Lotisdale Magazine, 

 vol. i. p. 433.) 



1823. A Concise Description of the English Lakes and adjacent 

 Mountains. 8vo., Keswick, 6th edition in 1837 ; 8th edition in 1850, 

 with Portrait and Memoir. 



1831. Further Observations of the Floating Island of Derwentwater, 

 with Remarks on certain other Phenomena. — Mem. Lit. &> Phil. Soc. 

 Manchester. Ser. 2, vol. v., p. 19. 



The earliest of Otley's written works seems to have been a paper 

 read before the Manchester Philosophical Society on December 27th, 

 18 1 6, upon the Black Lead Mine, in Borrowdale, and published in their 

 Memoirs in 181 9, together with another paper upon the Floating Island 

 in Derwent Lake. The former paper is dated Keswick, November 28th, 

 1816, and is a careful and trustworthy account of all that was then 

 known of the Mine. 



In 1823 Otley first introduced Sedgwick to Cumbrian geology, their
