About this Item

4th edition, revised and enlarged with notes and an appendix by John Scouler. An interesting historical work written to reconcile the difficulties between new findings in geology and scripture. In original decorative red cloth binding with gilt titles. With folding hand coloured section of 'a portion of the earth's crust'; title page; prefaces to each edition; explanation of the frontispiece; contents listing; text; appendix; index and glossary. With 8 black and white plates and illlustrations in the text. The binding is complete but shaken with rubbing to top and bottom of spine and corners. It is slightly grubby but has been protected by a wrapper. The front endpaper has split at the joint and has half a pasted label on the reverse of the front board and some small ink marking. The rear endpaper is also split at the joint and it looks as if another label has been removed. Contents are generally clean with occasional brown spotting. Some page edges have been turned over.
