Lucius J. Boyd

Lucius J. Boyd is credited as the author of Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, a scientific work published in 1889. The book examines asbestos-bearing serpentine formations in Quebec’s Eastern Townships and reflects the practical, survey-driven style of late nineteenth-century geological writing.

Very little biographical information about Boyd is readily confirmed in major reference sources, so it is safest to describe him as an obscure historical author whose surviving reputation rests mainly on this specialized report. His work has remained accessible through public-domain and library preservation projects, which suggests ongoing historical interest in early Canadian resource and geology literature.
