Abstract
THE late Prof. Sedgwick was grand-nephew of Adam Sedgwick, Woodwardian professor in the University of Cambridge from 1818 until 1873, sometimes known as the “old Adam.” Their ancestors had been “statesmen” in the Dale of Dent for several centuries. Adam Sedgwick, jun., was the son of Richard Sedgwick, vicar of Dent, and the affection he always bore towards his native valley was evidenced by the fact that he sent his second boy to the school at Sedbergh, at the mouth of the Dale.
