Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book began as a collection of facts designed to lay a foundation for all future study of geology, or 'geognosy' as it was often called. It was initially shaped by the ideas of German geologist Abraham Werner, but subsequent editions were informed by the then-emerging insights of other scientists. In the beginning, this book focused on the mineralogical composition of rocks, and their arrangement or 'stratification'. As the author's knowledge and that of the field itself grew, later editions of the book took on a more decidedly historical perspective, with the author dividing the history of the Earth's crust into several distinct epochs. Through observation of fossils and other geological features, the author was able to posit a more detailed account of the different epochs of the Earth's history than had previously been assembled. This book not only brought together a wealth of geological knowledge that had previously been dispersed among scattered sources, but it also provided scientists with a schema by which they could organize their future research and understanding of the Earth's history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the principles of geology, the study of the Earth's structure. It traces the historical development of this field of science and explains some of the more important geological processes that have shaped our planet over time. The author discusses the chemical composition of various geological formations and examines how they have been arranged into strata. The book also examines the fossil record to gain insight into the history of life on Earth and discusses the significance of trap rock and volcanic activity. Concepts such as the change of the Earth's levels, the origin of valleys, and the presence of glacial gravel deposits are also explored. The book concludes by examining the geological history of England and discussing a range of topics, including the history of coal mining and the processes involved in the working of other mines.

William Daniel Conybeare, 1787-1857. Clergyman, geologist and palaeontologist, Conybeare was one of the early members of the Geological Society. 'Outlines of Geology' is considered his principle work and is an enlargement of an earlier, far slimmer, edition by William Phillips. It mostly concerns the Carboniferous or later strata and had a significant influence on British geology. Although referred to as Part I, it was never followed by any other published parts. Note an extra leaf has been inserted between pages 58 and 59 (N) containing the second half of the contents page for Book 2. Although the printing differs slightly, there is no reason to believe it is not contemporary.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. CONYBEARE, W.D. (1787-1857) and WILLIAM PHILLIPS (1775-1828). Outlines of the geology of England and Wales, with an introductory compendium of the general principles of that science, and comparative views of the structure of foreign countries. Part I. (all published). London: W. Phillips, G. Yard, 1822. FIRST EDITION. 8 vo. Contemp. calf, rebacked, with contrasting spine labels. (8), lxi, (1, blank), (2, half-title misbound here), (3), 3-57, (1), (2, inserted leaf), (1), 60-470 pp. Folding hand-colored engraved geological map of England & Wales as frontispiece + multi-folding hand-colored engraved linen-backed plate of geological sections + folding letterpress table + a few woodcuts in the text. A very good copy. "Conybeare was one of the most active early members of the 'Oxford school' of geology and was a close associate of William Buckland. He was one of the most able British exponents of the synthesis of progressionism and catastrophism, which dominated geology in the 1820's and 1830's. His most important single work was his great enlargement and improvement of William Phillips' compilation of English stratigraphy. This created a synopsis of stratigraphical knowledge that was at the time unrivaled in detail and accuracy. In the general introduction to the 'Outlines', Conybeare considered the range of 'actual causes' but regarded them as inadequate to explain such phenomena as the 'diluvium' (glacial drift) and the form of valleys; for these he proposed diluvial explanations, although without stressing any concordance with the scriptural flood. The 'Outlines' described British stratigraphy back to the Carboniferous and was termed 'Part I'; Adam Sedgwick was to have assisted Conybeare with a second volume on the earlier strata, but it was never published." (D.S.B.). Geike, p.16. Challinor, 'Hist. Brit. geol.', pp.87-88. Zittel, pp.426-427. Geology Emerging 506.

Sole edition. 8vo. (viii), lxi, (3), 58, (2), 59-470, (2) pp. Recent dark green moiré cloth, gilt lettered red spine label, early ownership inscription of a W. Parry to the head of the title page. Geological frontispiece map of England and Wales plus a long hand coloured plate of strata, another plate of geological apparatus and a table - all folding. Very good. Although the title page states "Part I" no further material was published. Conybeare was "one of the band of pioneers [who] raised the study of rocks and fossils into the science of geology. The chief investigator and describer of the early discoveries of marine fossil reptiles in Britain" (Challinor p. 185).
