Sin anotaciones ni subrayados.- // Proc.: Sin datos.- // Refs.: Agassiz, IV, p. 159 (solo recoge la 2ª ed.); ESTC, R14542; Keynes 81; Wing R397.- // Si John Ray fue un autético naturalista con aves, animales y plantas, en materia geológica no fue tan acertado e innovador. Preocupado porque las explicaciones geológicas e hidrológicas casasen con la Escrituras, intentó explicar circunstancias como las islas, los manantiales, o los fósiles a partir de los efectos del Diluvio y de las fuerzas internas del calor de la tierra (origen de los terremotos). Y, a semejanza de bastantes científicos del momento, con Newton a la cabeza, también él era milenarista: concebía que igual que la acción de la Providencia había creado el mundo, ella misma iba a acabar con él. A estudiar cómo podría ser ese final a partir de las pistas de cómo se había creado (el caos inicial) y modificado (el diluvio), donde va insertando sus opiniones sobre islas, manatiales y fósiles, entre otros asuntos, es a lo que dedicó este libro. En lo que si resultaba novedoso es en considerar que el fin del mundo no llegaría anunciado por acontecimientos físicos (la caída de meteoros o el paso de cometas, como creían la mayoría de los milenaristas), sino que esos avisos tendrían la forma de extraños eventos políticos, estableciendo así una distinción entre los ámbitos natural, político y apocalíptico. Así, en cuanto al origen del agua en los manantiales, por ejemplo, mantenía una explicación desde el protagonismo de la tierra y del mar. Con ello seguía la corriente dominante durante dieciocho siglos, en la que se argüía que el mar estaba conectado por debajo de la tierra con unas cavernas en las que el agua se calentaba con el fuego interior y ascendía en forma de vapor por unos tubos hasta que el frío de las montañas lo volvía a la forma de agua para salir brotando en los manantiales, en un sistema sobre el que únicamente se discutía si las lluvias contribuían entrando en la tierra o no. Esta creencia solo había tenido la excepción, a finales del s. XVI, de Bernard Palissy(1), a quien en su momento nadie hizo caso, y solo comenzó a cambiar con la demostración de Perrault en 1674(2), quien cuantificó y correlacionó matemáticamente las precipitaciones y el agua de un río, mostrando que aquellas eran mayores y causa única del agua que corría y de la que se acumulaba infiltrándose. Las reacciones a este texto provocaron que lo reescribiese en una segunda edición publicada solo un año después cambiandole el título al de Three physico-Theological Discourses concerning I. The primitive Chaos, and Creaion of the World. 2. The General Deluge, its causes and Effects. 3. The Dissolution of the World.- // (1) Bernard Palissy: Discours admirables de la nature des eaux et fontaines tant naturelles qu?artificielles, des metaux, des sels & salines, des pierres, des terres, du feu & des emaux.? Paris: Martin le Jeune, 1580.- (2) Pierre Perrault: De l?origine des fontaines.- Paris: Pierre le Petit, 1674. Lib.

First edition of Ray's most comprehensive treatment of fossils. 'During much of the 1690s Ray was engaged in correspondence with Edward Lhwyd and others about the nature of fossils. In general he was inclined to accept that they were the remains of once-living creatures, and he also suggested that their current distribution might owe something to observable changes in the nature of the surface of the earth. He qualified these opinions, however, by stressing that the fossils which had so far been discovered were not unlike known plants and animals, and that their burial might owe something to the action of the biblical flood, as well as to natural effects. He argued that those remains which seemed to be unfamiliar might represent species of which the surviving representatives had not yet been discovered' (ONDB pages 1744-1745); Geoffrey Keynes, John Ray, pages 107-116; Dictionary Of Scientific Biography, Volume xi, pages 313-318; ESTC: R14542.
