390 Rev. Professor T. G. Bonneij, D.Sc, F.E.S. 



by Mr. Garwood. One alleviation in his London work cannot here 

 be overlooked, the voluntary assistance rendered by Miss Kaisin, who 

 was for several years a zealous pupil and co-worker. She wrote 

 several petrological papers in conjunction with Professor Bonney. 



A few years before his retirement, in 1895, the feelings of his 

 old students, both Cambridge and London, found spontaneous 

 expression in the gift of his portrait painted by Mr. Trevor Haddon. 

 The presentation took place in University College before a large 

 and distinguished assembly, and few who were present will forget 

 how on that dull December afternoon a warm glow of feeling 

 seemed to expand and grow luminous as speaker after speaker rose 

 to express his gratitude " to the Tutor whom they had feared, the 

 Master whom they reverenced, and the Friend they loved." 



Amidst his engrossing labours as a teacher and investigator in 

 geology, Professor Bonney has found time for work as a literary 

 author. " Outline Sketches of the High Alps in Dauphine " was 

 published in 1865, "The Alpine Eegions of Switzerland and the 

 Neighbouring Countries " in 1868, " The Coast of Norway " (1870), 

 "Vignettes, Alpine and Eastern" (1873), "The Bernese Oberland " 

 (1874), " Lakes and Mountain Scenery of the Swiss Alps " (1874), 

 "Welsh Scenery" (1875-76), "English Lake Scenery" (1876), 

 the letter-press in Walton's " Peaks and Valleys of the Alps " 

 (1867), and in the same artist's "Flowers from the Upper Alps," 

 and much of the descriptive text in such well-known works as 

 "Picturesque Europe," " Our Own Country," " English Cathedrals " 

 is from his pen. Of more particularly scientific works may be 

 mentioned "The Story of our Planet" (1893), "Charles Lyell and 

 Modern Geology" (1895), "Ice Work, Past and Present" (1896), 

 "Lewis; on the Genesis of the Diamond" (1897), and "Volcanos" 

 (1899). 



The life of a geologist, the life of an author, have not, however, 

 been sufficient to satisfy Professor Bonney's insatiable industry ; he 

 has lived, too, the life of a clergyman. He was one of the Cambridge 

 Preachers at the Chapel Eoyal, Whitehall, in 1876 to 1878, and has 

 five times been a Special Preacher before the University of 

 Cambridge, on the last occasion being Hulsean Lecturer. These 

 lectures were published in 1885 under the title of "The Influence 

 of Science on Theology." He has also published " The Holy Places 

 of Jerusalem" (1864), "Old Truths in Modern Lights" (Boyle 

 Lectures, 1890, 1891), and "Doctrine and Modern Thought" 

 (Boyle Lectures, 1891, 1892). 



He is an Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester and 

 an Honorary Canon of that Cathedral. He frequently preaches in 

 London, and those who listen to him will recognize the same 

 independence of thought and variety of mood which distinguish 

 his scientific lecturing ; at one time the hearer will be charmed with 

 a rare eloquence, at another he will enjoy that keen satire which once 

 led to the remark " Professor Bonney has a tongue like a sword ! " 



Professor Bonney became Fellow of the Geological Society in 

 1860; he was one of the Secretaries from 1878 to 1883, and
