Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meeting-Place of Geology and History The object of this little book is to give a clear and accurate statement of facts bearing on the character of the debatable ground intervening between the later part of the geological record and the beginnings of sacred and secular history. The subject is one as yet full of difficulty; but the materials for its treatment have been rapidly accumulating, and it is hoped that it may prove possible to render it more interesting and intelligible than heretofore.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Geologic History, With Especial Reference to North America: A Series of Essays The essays in this volume were presented before Section E, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at the meeting in Baltimore in December, 1908. The original plan of the papers involved the formulation of the principles of correlation, as applied to the formations of different periods. This plan was conceived by Bailey Willis, then vice-president of Section E, and was carried out With much success. The several chapters have appeared in the J oumal of Geology, since their presentation at Baltimore. They present in broad outlines a summary of certain phases of existing knowledge of N orth American geology, and are now bound together in the belief that students of geology in this country and abroad will welcome them in this more convenient form. The paleogeo graphic maps by Mr. Willis form a valuable part of the volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cooling Globe: Or the Mechanics of Geology The two memoirs herewith presented to scholars and thinkers, and intended to be permanent contributions to knowledge, were read before the Boston Society of Nat ural History: the first, at the meeting of Oct. 5, 1859; the last, at the meeting of J an. 4, 1865. The geological proposition which I have attempted to demonstrate is, that the globe, when first giving birth to life and rudimentary forms, was much larger in all its diameters than now. When walking in darkness, we step timidly. When the sun rises, we tread boldly. NO doubts now remain in my mind upon the important subject involved in the subsequent discussions.

Rogers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Meeting of the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists, Held in Washington, May, 1844 Prof. Frederick Hall possessed great ardor in the pursuit of knowl edge, and was one of the earliest cultivators in this country of geology and mineralogy. He was educated at Dartmouth College, became pro feasor of natural philosophy and chemistry in Middlebury College, and afterwards president of Mount Hope College in Maryland, and at the time of his death (which took place at Peoria, Ill.) was professor of chemistry in the medical department of Columbia College, Washington. Of a generous and enthusiastic nature, he manifested the sincerity of his zeal for science and the cause of education, by the very handsome contribution in money and a rich cabinet, which he made a few years ago in aid of the establishment of a new professorship in the respected institution from which he imbibed his strong love for learning. Though not a practical geologist, he was a successful teacher of the science, evinced a lively interest in its advancement, and earnestly encouraged this our present effort to promote its progress in our country. Mr. Nicollet was born in Savoy between Geneva and Mont Blanc. Repairing to Paris about the age of twenty, he applied himself with great enthusiasm to improve, through the resources of that capital, the defects of his early education, and gifted with a fine mathematical ability, and enjoying the lessons and friendship of Laplace, he soon rose to distino tion as a mathematician and astronomer. In his assiduous devotion to his favorite branches, he became the author of several works of merit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victorian Hill and Dale: A Series of Geological Rambles Like many other things in this world, these sketches have grown. In 1899 I wrote an account of the geology of Melbourne for the handbookiof the Melbourne meeting of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, which took place early in the following year. Then followed several popular lectures on the same subject, and in the summer of 1905 - 6 I contributed, under the name of physicus, a series of geological articles to the Melbourne Argus. Thesei have here republished, with a few alterations, and I desire to thank the proprietors of that journal for their kind permission to use them again. A few additional chapters have been added, in the hope that they may be of some. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Anniversary Address Before the Association of American Geologists: At Their Second Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 5, 1841 In the first place, these phenomena must have been the result of some very general force, or forces, Operating in the same gen eral direction; that is, southerly or southeasterly. For in a southerly direction has the drift been so uniformly carried, and the furrows and scratches on the rocks so generally point south erly, that the force which produced these effects must have tend ed thither. Our valleys have, indeed, considerably modified the course of the drift; but not enough to contradict the general statement. It would be strange if careful examination should not discover here, as in the Alps and in Great Britain, that the moving force had sometimes been exerted outwardly from the axes of high mountains. But I am not aware that as yet any facts Of importance in favor of such an opinion, have been brought to light. At any rate, the evidence of a force urging detritus and bowlders m a southerly, or more strictly in a southeasterly direction, is too marked, and has been noticed by too many inde pendent observers, over a breadth of nearly two thousand miles, to be doubted even though local exceptions should be discover ed - and such a uniformity of direction over so vast an area, in dicates a very general agency. Secondly, this agency has operated at all altitudes, from the present sea level, and probably beneath it, to the height of three thousand or four thousand feet. In New England, most Of our hills and mountains, not excepting insulated peaks, not higher than three thousand feet, are distinctly smoothed and furrowed on their tops and northern slopes, and upon their east and west flanks, to the bottom of the lowest valleys. Dr. Jackson sup poses he has found transported detritus on Mount Katahdin, four thousand feet high. But he could discover no marks of this action at the summit of the White mountains of New Hampshire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Lyell: The Principles and Methods of Geology, as Applied to the Investigation of the Past History of the Earth and Its Inhabitants In spite of the expansion of the text and the intro duction into it of more than one hundred new illustrations, it has nevertheless been found possible, by using smaller type for certain portions, to avoid increasing the bulk or the cost of the volume. It is hoped, moreover, that this employ ment of different kinds of type will afford some assistance to the student. The beginner is advised, in his first perusal of the work, to devote his attention mainly to the portions printed in larger type; and afterwards, in entering upon its more serious study, to read the whole through continuously. It may be well to mention, too, that although, for the very cogent reasons urged by Lyell (see p. It is desirable in the first instance to study the newer and less altered strata before the older and greatly metamorphosed rocks, yet, in revising his studies at a later period, the reader may find it advantageous to take up the several systems in historical order.
