Extract

The Geological discoveries made during the early nineteenth century resulted in a series of general, predominantly didactic studies, the chief purpose of which was the compilation of large amounts of data. Many of these books were quickly translated from one language into another, and the work of Sir Charles Lyell was, naturally enough, no exception.
