Reliquiae Conservatae

Reliquiae Conservatae: From The Primitive Materials Of Our Present Globe is a book written by George Cumberland and published in 1826. The book explores the geological history of the Earth, focusing on the study of rocks and fossils. Cumberland draws from his own observations and research, as well as the work of other scientists of his time, to offer a comprehensive and detailed account of the Earth's formation and development.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of geology. Cumberland begins with an overview of the Earth's structure and the various types of rocks that make up its crust. He then delves into the study of fossils, which he sees as key to understanding the Earth's history. He discusses the different types of fossils, how they are formed, and what they can tell us about the past.Cumberland also explores the role of volcanoes and earthquakes in shaping the Earth's surface. He describes the various types of volcanic activity and the different types of rocks that are produced. He also discusses the impact of earthquakes on the landscape, and how they can cause both destruction and the formation of new geological features.Throughout the book, Cumberland emphasizes the importance of careful observation and scientific inquiry in understanding the Earth's history. He argues that by studying the rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust, we can gain a deeper understanding of the planet and its place in the universe.Overall, Reliquiae Conservatae: From The Primitive Materials Of Our Present Globe is a fascinating and informative book that offers a detailed look at the science of geology. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Earth's history and the processes that have shaped our planet over millions of years.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
