An Introduction To Geology: Comprising The Elements Of The Science In Its Present Advanced State, And All The Recent Discoveries; With An Outline Of The Geology Of England And Wales by Robert Bakewell. The work presents geology as a fact-grounded science concerned with the Earth’s structure, rock composition, and the processes that shape them, connecting igneous and aqueous origins to broader questions of planetary history and the Creator’s laws. It outlines Britain and Wales along three major districts and three map-based belts: an Alpine west, a central Middle England belt rich in coal and minerals, and an Upper Calcareous east dominated by marine and tertiary formations. A threefold rock taxonomy—primitive, transition, secondary—is presented alongside practical field methods, reading sections and plates, and the interpretation of dykes and faults. The volume links regional geology to global correlations (including oolite, lias, chalk, greensand, and tertiary sequences) and discusses volcanism and subterranean heat, while addressing geology’s dialogue with biblical chronology and religious considerations.
