About this book
Georges Cuvier's essay looks at the changes the earth's surface has undergone, as read from rock layers and fossil remains. It began as the introduction to his study of fossil bones and is best known for the case that the globe's history was marked by sudden upheavals. This fifth edition, printed in Edinburgh in 1827, was translated from the French with additions by both author and translator, and with geological illustrations by Professor Jameson. The frontispiece pictures a cross-section of the Gaylenreuth cavern in Franconia.
