Item description from seller

Frontispiece [of Adam Sedgwick], xlviii, 204 pp. Folio (12.5" tall). Original cloth. Near Fine. First Edition. COPY OF THE PALEONTOLOGIST F. A. [FRANCIS ARTHUR] BATHER, with his signature dated November 1890. In his Preface, Sedgwick mentions the young Charles Darwin, before his voyage on the Beagle: "If it be asked how the great succession of our Older Palæozoic rocks was determined, I can only refer to my own individual labours, carried on during many successive years among the older rocks of England. I commenced my task in Wales in 1831, accompanied for a short time by my friend Charles Darwin--a name now well known and honoured in the whole world of science but other engagements soon drew him away from N. Wales. We laid down the northern boundary of the Carboniferous Limestone together. . . (p. xv).".
