Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce
A very smart and comprehensive late nineteenth-century geological work that attempts to confront the theory of uniformity using recent geological discoveries.

Written by nineteenth and twentieth century British politician, historian, and geologist, Sir Henry Hoyle Howorth.
Containing a previous owner's ink signature to the half title page, dated 1899.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with just some very light shelf wear and bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Previous owner's ink signature to the half title page. Internally, hinges are slightly tender. Remaining binding is firm. A small tear to the bottom of the front free-endpaper. A few spots to the first and last few pages, otherwise pages are bright and clean.
Very Good Indeed
