ABSTRACT
Clearly, Lyell is claiming that geology is a science
of a sort which Humboldt holds cannot exist. A glance at
Humboldt's Cosmos shows that this is indeed the case.
For Cosmos was written long after the Principles; and
yet in Cosmos Humboldt is still saying that the geological
inquiry which Lyell claims to be conducting cannot be
legitimately scientific.
