Geocache Description:

This mystery cache is based on two entirely separate works of a very accomplished 19th century scholar. Deciphering the text will provide you with a potted history of this person whom if you can identify will probably help you work out the co-ordinates. The cache container is a camouflaged 1 litre container. This is a replacement cache as the other one is lost.
