About This Item
Strasbourg, F.G. Levrault. 2 volumes. 8vo. Contemporary half calf. With 2 folding engraved. The first geological textbook in France based on the teachings of Werner. It won wide popularity on account of its clearness and elegance in the mode of treatment. D'Aubuisson held closely to the methodical arrangement of the subject introduced by Werner and took his illustrative examples chiefly from French geology. His deviation of Werner's teaching was the insertion of Tertiary formations between the Secundary deposits and diluvial clays and gravels. He was, together with Leopold von Buch and Alexander von Humboldt, one of the three great pupils of Werner (Zittel, pp. 143-144). Stamps and marks of previous owner. A very good copy. BMC NH, p. 70; Ward & Carozzi 88. Please contact me (ramrozzi@yahoo.fr)
