A Brief Treatise on Geology; Or Facts and Suggestions, and Inductions in that Science

By Biblicus Delvinus

First published in 1831, this volume contains a vintage treatise on geology, with a focus on the formation of the earth. Although much of the information is now out-dated, "A Brief Treatise on Geology" will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of modern geology, and it would make for a wonderful addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Form of our Earth at the Creation-Design of the Creator in thus forming it", "Salt an original Formation; Its Origin', 'Salt and Organic Remains peculiar to Basins-A more general research necessary to establish any Geological Theory-How to discover if there have been successive formations-The design considered of the progression from simple to more complex forms", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
