About this book

Volcanoes, subtitled Past and Present, is a book by Edward Hull. The text discusses a numbered series of works, among them Der Ætna by Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, which it says possesses a melancholy interest from the fact that its distinguished author did not live to see its publication. The text says Sir Charles Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, devotes several chapters to the consideration of volcanic phenomena, and combats the "elevation theory" of Von Buch.

The text describes a volcanic mountain called San Francisco, which reaches an elevation, according to Wheeler, of 12,562 feet above the ocean and has long been extinct. The text names another volcanic mountain, called Mount Taylor, which according to Dutton rises to an elevation of 11,390 feet above the ocean. The text describes gabbro as a rather wide group of volcanic rocks with variable composition, essentially a crystalline-granular compound of plagioclase, generally Labradorite and diallage.
