Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elements of Chemical and Physical Geology, Vol. 1 The German edition of my work on Chemical and Physical Geology, of which the first volume appeared in 1847, the second in the following years in six parts, and of which the seventh and last part will appear in a few weeks, had the good fortune to attract the notice of the Cavendish Society (Report of the fourth anniversary meeting of this Society). They wished an English translation of that work so condensed as not to exceed 1500 pages, the German edition containing about 3300 pages. In the work which I have accordingly supplied I have chosen a different, and as appears to me, more systematic arrangement of the chapters than in the German edition. Allied subjects are brought closer to one another, and in this way space has been spared. The present edition, indeed, is by no means a mere translation or abridgement of the German, but an independent work, in which the chemico-geological facts ascertained since the preparation of the latter, have been taken up so far as space permitted. The laws of combination in the mineral kingdom, which I have been gradually discovering during the preparation of the German edition, are collected into Chapter I. A few new laws discovered since this chapter was sent to the press will be considered in the second volume.
