Henry
  Boase (1763-1827), banker, of Madron,
Cornwall
 , was born in London on the 2nd of September 1799. Educated partly at Tiverton grammar-school, and partly at Dublin, where he studied
chemistry
 , he afterwards proceeded to Edinburgh and took the degree of M.D. in 1821. He then settled for some years as a medical practitioner at Penzance; there geology engaged his particular attention, and he became secretary of the Royal Geological Society of
Cornwall

work
  of considerable merit in regard to the older crystalline and igneous rocks and the subject of
