"Hugh Miller (1802 - 1856) was a self-taught Scottish geologist and writer, folklorist and an evangelical Christian. In a biographical review about him, he was recognized as an exceptional person by Sir David Brewster, who said of him: "Mr. Miller is one of the few individuals in the history of Scottish science who have raised themselves above the labors of an humble profession, by the force of their genius and the excellence of their character, to a comparatively high place in the social scale."
