In Canada, the 19 th -century development of sciences with a geographical component was marked by individuals whose contributions were remarkable for their details, their geographical coverage, the originality and longevity of their ideas. Collectively, these individuals could be called the 'inventors of Canada.' Among them was Robert Bell. Early in his career at the Geological Survey of Canada and during an interval of part-time service while he taught at Queen’s University (1864–68), Kingston, Ontario, Robert Bell (1841–1917) involved himself in several commercial schemes that he hoped would lead to the development of mineral occurrences in the British colony of Newfoundland (various minerals), Canada East and West (petroleum), and Nova Scotia (gold), developments that he hoped would also raise his financial as well as his scientific stature. Here, the circumstances of these ventures and their outcomes and his unencumbered achievements in later life are reviewed. RESUME Au Canada, au 19e siecle, le developpement des sciences comprenant un volet geographique a ete marque par des individus dont les contributions ont ete remarquables par leurs details, leur couverture geographique, leur originalite, et la longevite de leurs idees. Collectivement, ces personnes pourraient etre appelees les «inventeurs du Canada». Parmi elles se trouvait Robert Bell. Tout au debut de sa carriere a la Commission Geologique du Canada, et pendant son service a temps partiel alors qu’il enseignait a l’universite Queen’s a Kingston, Ontario (1864–1868), Robert Bell (1841–1917) s’est implique personnellement dans plusieurs programmes commerciaux qu’il esperait mener au developpement des richesses minerales de la colonie britannique de Terre-Neuve (divers mineraux), du Canada-Est et Canada-Ouest (petrole), et de la Nouvelle-Ecosse (or). Il esperait que ces developpements augmenteraient son statut financier ainsi que scientifique. Dans cet article, la situation de ces entreprises et leurs resultats, et ses accomplissements scientifiques independants, sont passes en revue.
