Geological Cosmogony: Or An Examination Of The Geological Theory Of The Origin And Antiquity Of The Earth (1843)

Geological Cosmogony is a book written by A Layman in 1843 that examines the theory of the origin and antiquity of the Earth from a geological perspective. The author challenges the prevailing views of the time, which were based on religious beliefs and the idea that the Earth was only a few thousand years old. The book presents evidence from geology, astronomy, and other sciences to support the idea that the Earth is much older than previously thought, and that its history can be traced through the geological record. The author also explores the implications of this theory for the history of life on Earth, including the evolution of species and the extinction of dinosaurs. Overall, Geological Cosmogony is a groundbreaking work that helped to establish the field of geology as a scientific discipline and paved the way for future discoveries in the study of the Earth's history.And Of The Causes And Object Of The Changes It Has Undergone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
