Abstract
Abstract The early years of the Aberdeen Branch of the RSGS reveal certain features of the Society's character which should not be overlooked. Both the academics and townsmen associated with the Branch were much affected by imperialist concerns such as the position of the Free Church Mission in Central Africa. The roles of the politician Lord Aberdeen and the Free Churchman George Adam Smith are notable; both were influenced by the scientist‐evangelist Henry Drummond. Aberdeen had its modest share in the emergence of the “new geography”.
