Principles of Geology, or the Modern Changes of the Earth and Its Inhabitants: Considered as Illustrative of Geology (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Principles of Geology, or the Modern Changes of the Earth and Its Inhabitants: Considered as Illustrative of Geology
In thus separating the two works, however, I have retained in the Principles (book i.) the discussion of some matters which might fairly be regarded as common to both treatises as for example, an historical sketch of the early progress Of geology, followed by a series of preliminary essays to explain the facts and arguments which lead me to believe that the forces now operating upon and beneath the earth's surface may be the same, both in kind and degree, as those which at remote epochs have worked out geological changes. (see Analysis of Contents of this work, p. Ix.)
