First Edition. "Playfair himself had significant firsthand knowledge of Hutton from about 1785 onward. Though they had at least been introduced well before then, it was surely their prolonged geological discussions following the presentation of Hutton's theory in March and April 1785 that drew them together. . . . Playfair's concise narrative of the Siccar Point adventure [1788] by Hutton, Hall and himself and his description of the unconformity discovered there is the most famous field report in the literature of modern geology. Though its eloquent language is obviously Playfair's, the imaginative reconstruction of past geological events . . . remains Hutton's own, as Playfair himself affirmed" (Dean, James Hutton and the History of Geology, pp. 117, 119; see 117-25).
