The eminent Victorian clergyman and naturalist set out in this 1872 collection of lectures to make discoveries in geology accessible to the general reader. In addition to a ringing call for study of the natural sciences, the author considers climate change, glaciers, limestone, coral reefs, volcanoes, and the origin of coal.
