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. He seemed precocious in many directions. When nineteen years of age he quarreled with a companion and killed him. He was condemned to death for the 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.
