Roderick Murchison (1792-1871) born in Scotland to a family of landowners was educated at military college and served briefly in the Peninsular War. For several years he was a gentleman of leisure but a chance acquaintance with Humphry Davy turned his interest to science. He settled in London devoted himself to geology, elected a fellow of the Geological Society in 1825 and of the Royal Society in 1826. In 1831 he was made president of the Geological Society holding office until 1833 and again from 1841-1843. His first great achievement was to describe and investigate a major system of strata which he called Silurian, publishing his findings in The Silurian System (1830). He travelled to Russia in 1840 and 1841 and to Scandinavia in 1844. He was accompanied by the French palaeontologist Edouard de Verneuil whose researches were incorporated into Volume II, and by the German geologist and palaeontologist Count Alexander Keyserling a personal friend of Tsar Nicholas I to whom this work is dedicated.
