OverviewExcerpt from The Liverpool Geological Society (Established December 13th, 1859): A Retrospect of Fifty Years' Existence and Work Prior to the establishment of the Liverpool Geological Society, similar societies had been formed at several centres outside London - the Edinburgh Geological Society in 1834, the Yorkshire Geological and Polytechnic Society at Wakefield in 1837, the Manchester Geological and Mining Society in 1888, and the Glasgow Geological Society (which celebrated its Jubilee last year) in 1858. The association of Hutton and Playfair with Edinburgh, as well as the particularly interesting geological structure of the immediate vicinity, is sufficient to explain the early formation of a Special society for the study of geology in that district; while both the Yorkshire and the Manchester Societies were no doubt assisted to a great extent by the close association of those districts with the coal mining industry.
