Carolus Lyell

, FRS, (natus Angusiae die 14 Novembris 1797; mortuus Londinii die 22 Februarii 1875), fuit causidicus Britannicus et praecipuissimus sui temporis scriptor geologicus. Libro Principles of Geology ('Principiis geologiae') innotuit, qui notiones Iacobi Hutton de uniformitarianismo gratiosas apud populum fecit, praesertim notionem tellurem ab eisdem rationibus iam efficientibus formatam esse. Principles of Geology praeterea notiones a Georgio Cuvier prolatas disputavit, notiones de geologia acceptissimas et vulgatissimas in Anglia illo tempore.Walter F. Cannon, "The impact of uniformitarianism: two letters from John Herschel to Charles Lyell, 1836–1837," Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 1961:301–314. Lyell fuit unus ex primis qui putabant tellurem ob eius enormitates geologicas plus quam 300 milliones annorum habere. Maximus et auctoritate gravissimus Caroli Darwin amicus fuit, cuius argumenta in Germaniam introduxit Ludovicus Büchner philosophus.
