James Hutton (1726–97) was one of the foremost scientists of the Scottish Enlightenment, yet his indifference to honours and status, and the disappearance of his papers after his death, have left him a shadowy figure. Newly discovered sources inform this biography, which records his diverse achievements in chemistry, agriculture and geology, including establishing the age of the Earth, and sheds light on his mysterious private life.
