De Saussure was Honourary Professor of Mineralogy and Geology in the Academy of Geneva, Member of the Society of Physic and Natural History of Geneva, Honorary member of the Geology Society of Edinburgh. Necker studied at the Academy of Geneva, then went to Edinburgh in 1806 to pursue university studies. Already versed in mineralogy and geology, in Scotland he was exposed to both Huttonian and Wernerian geological doctrines and became personally acquainted with Playfair, Hall, and other Edinburgh intellectuals. After visiting many parts of Scotland, with special attention to geological features, Necker returned to Geneva, where he became a professor of mineralogy and geology at the Academy in 1810. He retained a chair there for over two decades. During these years he traveled widely, sometimes conducting excursions with his students, and undertook geological investigations, especially in the Alps, concentrating particularly on the eastern and western extremities of the Alpine ranges. . 8vo, 21.2cm., xiii,112p., rebound in French marbled paper over boards, paper label along the spine, a fine copy thus, not common.
