by Charles Lyell
First line
Connexion between the subjects treated of in the former parts of this work and those to be discussed in the present volume-Erroneous assumption of the earlier geologists respecting the discordance of the former and actual causes of change-Opposite system of inquiry adopted in this work-Illustrations from the history of the progress of Geology of the respective merits of the two systems-Habit of indulging conjectures respecting irregular and extraordinary agents not yet abandoned-Necessity in the present state of science of prefixing to a work on Geology treatises respecting the changes now in progress in the animate and inanimate world.
From the rear cover
In this third and final volume, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) devotes much attention to the 'syntax of geology, ' that is, to a way of reconstructing the geological past on the basis of the 'grammar' of the present processes he has described in the earlier volumes. Martin J. S. Rudwick has compiled a bibliography giving full references for the sources Lyell cites in all three volumes of the Principles.
