January 1830 saw the publication of the first volume (of three) of Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology.
Lyell’s work, though contested, establishes the preeminence of Uniformitarian principles in the interpretation of Geological phenomena, and allows vast temporal scope for Charles Darwin’s subsequent model of evolutionary development.
