Synopsis

Lectures On The Origin Of The Globe; A Universal Deluge; The Destruction And Reformation Of Our Solar System; The Essential Elements Of Created Principles And The Electric Properties Of Light, Heat, Etc. is a book written by George Brewster and published in 1850. The book is a compilation of lectures that discuss various topics related to the history and science of the Earth and the solar system. The first part of the book focuses on the origins of the Earth and its geological history. Brewster discusses the different theories proposed by scientists about how the Earth was formed and how it has evolved over time. He also talks about the processes that have shaped the Earth's surface, such as erosion, volcanic activity, and plate tectonics.The second part of the book deals with the concept of a universal deluge, which was a popular theory in the 19th century that suggested that the Earth was once covered by a massive flood. Brewster examines the evidence for and against this theory and provides his own opinions on the matter.The third part of the book explores the destruction and reformation of our solar system. Brewster discusses the various theories about how the solar system was formed and how it has changed over time. He also examines the evidence for the existence of other planets and solar systems beyond our own.The fourth and final part of the book delves into the essential elements of created principles and the electric properties of light, heat, and other forms of energy. Brewster discusses the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of matter and energy in the universe, including the laws of thermodynamics and electromagnetism.Overall, Lectures On The Origin Of The Globe; A Universal Deluge; The Destruction And Reformation Of Our Solar System; The Essential Elements Of Created Principles And The Electric Properties Of Light, Heat, Etc. is a comprehensive exploration of the history and science of the Earth and the solar system. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the scientific knowledge and theories of the 19th century, and is still relevant and informative today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
