Abstract
Deodat Dolomieu was born in Dolomieu, France, June 23, 1750, and died November 16, 1801. In infancy he was created a Knight of Malta and seemed precocious in many directions. When nineteen years of age he quarreled with a companion and killed him. He was condemned to die for his crime, but after nine months' imprisonment, he was pardoned on account of his youth. He early became interested in geology and mineralogy, and wrote some important treatises on his favorite subjects, especially while residing in Metz; the interesting old capital of Lorraine.
