Dr George Goudie Chisholm FRSE FRSGS LLD (1 May 1850–9 February 1930) was a Scottish geographer. He authored the first English-language textbook on economic geography: Handbook on Commercial Geography (1889) and the World Gazetteer, later to become known as The Times Gazetteer.[1] <br />Chisolm was born in Edinburgh on 1 May 1850, the son of an actuary.[2] He was educated at the Royal High School in Edinburgh, and then the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1870.[3] <br />He lectured on Geography in London from 1883 to 1908 and then returned to the University of Edinburgh where he lectured until 1923. <br />He served as Secretary to the Scottish Geographical Society for 15 years. <br />In 1923 he received an honorary doctorate (LLD) from the University, and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1924. <br />He authored the first English-language textbook on economic geography: Handbook on Commercial Geography (1889). It was later revised by Kenneth Stamp. (ISBN 0-582-30015-0). He authored a review of Friedrich Naumann's Pan-German work on Central Europe which appeared in The Scottish Geographical Magazine issue 33, which condemned the aggressively militaristic overtones of Naumann's nationalistic work. His World Gazetteer of 1895, a huge project, later became commonly known as The Times Gazetteer.[1] <br />On Sunday 9 February 1930 he died quietly on a tram in Edinburgh while returning on a tram.[2] He was 79. <br />
