Plate number V 'An Enlarged Portion of the Original Section of the Cliff, North of Cromer', is absent.An early work from this accomplished geologist, discussing the hypothesis presented in John Warden Robberds' 1826 publication 'Geological and Historical Observations on the Eastern Vallies of Norfolk', and the rising and falling of German ocean sea levels.With the stamp of the Norfolk County Library to head of front free endpaper, and library markings to verso of title page.
