MILLER, HUGH: Geologist and member of the Free Church of Scotland; b. at Cromarty (82 m. w.n.w. of Aberdeen) Oct. 10, 1802; d. by his own hand at Portobello (3 m. e. of Edinburgh) Dec. 24, 1856. He was carefully educated by his two uncles, was apprenticed in 1819 to a stone-mason, and followed that trade for several years. His spare hours he spent in the cultivation of his mind, especially in the study of geology, the first fruits of which appeared in 1840 in Old Red Sandstone (Edinburgh, 1841). In 1834 he received an appointment in the Commercial Bank at Cromarty. In 1840 he accepted the editorship of the Wit mesa, a Free Church paper, which he speedily made very influential against the practise of patronage in settling ministers over churches. Miller's works on geology, in which he was a pioneer, roused violent criticism at the time but were much praised by other geologists. Among his works are: Poems Written ire the Leisure Hours of a Journeyman Mason (Inverness, 1829); Scents crud Legends of the North of Scotland (London, 1835); Memoir of William Forsyth (1839); First Impressions of England and its People (London, 1847); Foot-Prints of the Creator (1847); My Schools and Schoolmasters (autobiographic; Edinburgh, 1852; latest ed., 1906); Fossiliferoua Deposits of Scotland (1854); Geology versus Astronomy (Glasgow [1855]); Testimony of the Rocks (Edinburgh, 1857); Cruise of the Betsy (1858); Sketch-Book of Popular Geology (1859); Essays (ed. P. Bayne, 1862); Tales and Sketches (ed. Mrs. Miller, 1863); and Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, Geological and Historical (1864). His works were collected in 13 volumes (Edinburgh, 1869).
