摘要

揭示了关于19世纪苏格兰自学成才者和气候变化先驱詹姆斯·克罗尔的三项新证据。由于对证据的追求超出了应有的范围,这些不为人知的方面变得显而易见,包括:(1)克罗尔短暂地试图成为一名出版商;(2) 被任命为格拉斯哥安德森大学和博物馆的清洁工,比他自己声称的晚了一年,随后的评论员也重复了这一点;(3) 为什么Joseph Dalton Hooker给Croll的信被复制到苏格兰珀斯(Croll居住的小镇)的带信纸的蒙特利尔小屋上,以及Croll的朋友、退休的舰队外科医生John Bower被认定为抄写员,这是一个谜。有人认为,这些发现隐藏在众目睽睽之下,并非微不足道,并揭示了一个相对被忽视的个人的传记。

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: OVERLOOKED EVIDENCE CONCERNING JAMES CROLL (1821–1890)
Three new pieces of evidence concerning James Croll, the nineteenth century Scottish autodidact and climate change pioneer are revealed. These untold facets became apparent as a result of pursuing evidence further than might have seemed warranted, and comprise: (1) Croll’s short-lived attempt to become a publisher; (2) appointment to a janitorial position at Anderson’s University and Museum in Glasgow a year later than claimed by himself and repeated by subsequent commentators; (3) the enigma of why letters from Joseph Dalton Hooker to Croll were copied onto notepaper headed Montreal Cottage in Perth, Scotland (the town in which Croll lived), and the identification of John Bower, a retired fleet-surgeon and friend of Croll, as the copyist. It is argued that the findings were hidden in plain sight, are not trivial, and shed light on the biography of a relatively neglected individual.
