1846ref. 14205London: Smith Elder and Co 1846. I: First edition. Includes a description of six species of corals from the Palaeozoic formation of Van Diemen’s Land by W. Lonsdale. “Darwin’s published work during this period secured his position as one of Britain’s foremost naturalists. His study of the volcanic islands visited during the Beagle voyage was based on a wide range of rock and mineral specimens including his own and considerable research into contemporary theories of volcanic activity mountain formation and the elevation of extensive tracts of land relative to the sea” Correspondence Vol. 3 p. 331. II: First edition. When Darwin sailed on the Beagle he had with him the first volume of Lyell’s Principles of geology which advanced a gradualist theory of geological evolution through elevation subsidence and erosion over an immense period of time contrary to the dominant catastrophist theory of sudden upheaval. Darwin was able to interpret the geology of South America according to Lyell’s principles and his book offered the first adequate geological investigation of the continent. His “demonstration of the origin of metamorphic rocks by deformation and of the distinction between cleavage and sedimentary bedding was a major contribution to geology” DSB. He also worked out an accurate model for fossil formation from which he demonstrated the erratic and incomplete nature of the fossil record. Freeman 272; 273. Smith, Elder and Co unknown books
