Wrappers. Zustand: Fine. Original article disbound from Volume VII of Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (not a reprint, facsimile reproduction, or photocopy). Roman numerals preceding title refer to order of sequence as published in the Transactions. Demy 4to (273 x 210mm): 269-278pp, complete with three full-page p…lates. Recently bound by Fitterer in stiff marbled wrappers. An excellent wide-margined example, tightly bound and clean throughout. Playfair's paper is drawn from a series of letters written by Captain Basil Hall, a British naval officer and the second son of geologist James Hall, after a visit to the Cape of Good Hope and an excursion to Table Mountain in July, 1814. The letters describe the granitic intrusions within the sedimentary sandstone structures that Hall saw in the Platteklip Gorge near Table Mountain. Playfair provides a general description of Table Mountain, which (is now known) was once was part of the ocean bed off the coast of South Africa. Forces from an underground volcano sent magma rushing to the surface, lifting sand and mud from the ocean bed to form the mountain. Playfair is best known for his book Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory of the Earth (1802), which summarized the work of James Hutton and his Theory of the Earth. It was through Playfair's efforts that Hutton's principle of uniformitarianism, later taken up by Charles Lyell, first reached a wide audience. N. B.

Wrappers. Zustand: Fine. Original article disbound from Volume VII of Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (not a reprint, facsimile reproduction, or photocopy). Roman numerals preceding title refer to order of sequence as published in the Transactions. Demy 4to (273 x 210mm): 303-375pp, complete with five folding plat…es and folding map showing Glen Tilt. Recently bound by Fitterer in stiff marbled wrappers. An excellent wide-margined example, tightly bound and clean throughout. The river Tilt is a principal branch of the Tay, which rises on the borders of Aberdeenshire and runs towards the southwest, through the northeastern part of the county of Perth. A portion of the valley along its course, for about ten miles above Blair of Atholl, is called Glen Tilt, which Seymour and Playfair visited to study the geology of the rugged, mountainous terrain. In 1785, Hutton had examined outcrops in Glen Tilt, noting "contact relationships between Precambrian metasedimentary rocks and Paleozoic granite bodies, although he had no knowledge of their true ages." These breccias "were very influential, because they sparked a long, and at times acrimonious, debate about the origins of igneous rocks and especially granite."
