London: Cadell and Davies, 1802. Hardcover. very good. 1st Edition. 528pp. Octavo. Bound in an attractive modern full tree calf with speckled calf spine. Old marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Title page a bit soiled. Old ownership name on title page. Old stamp removed from the back of the title page. Text block very clean. very good A landmark book in the history and progress of science and geology in the 19th century, which summarized and advanced the Huttonian concept of Uniformitarianism. Uniformitarianism, the principle that natural laws operating today have always operated at roughly the same rates, including into the distant past, has informed the ideas of many scientists, including Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. The vastly long time scales required by Uniformitarianism were essential to the success of Darwin's theory of Decent by Modification, the cornerstone to his Theory of Evolution. Rare especially in this nice condition. 1802

"Playfair, a professor of mathematics at the University of Edinburgh and a friend of James Hutton, revised Hutton's Theory of the Earth to present his case more precisely, with additional evidence and without Hutton's religious ideas.

Edinburgh: [Neill & Co. for] Caddell and Davies; William Creech, 1802. EVANS 66 - "OF THIS GREAT CLASSIC IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEAK TOO HIGHLY" First edition of "one of the most conspicuous landmarks in the progress of British geology" (DSB). "Of this great classic it is impossible to speak too highly. For precision of statement and felicity of language it has no superior in English scientific literature." (Evans). Playfair (1748-1819) was Professor of Mathematics at Edinburgh from 1785 to 1805. In 1795 he published an important edition of Euclid, containing an original formulation of the fifth postulate. "Playfair's fame as a scientist, however, rests almost entirely on his work in geology -hardly a "professional" study at the time - in presenting Hutton's momentous theory in a clear and palatable form (which Hutton himself had failed to do), and in adding materially to the geological knowledge of the time" (DSB). "Playfair's exposition and development of James Hutton's Uniformitarian theory of the…
