William Buckland (1784-1856), Dean of Westminster, was an English geologist best known for his contributions to palaeontology. He became the first Reader in Geology at the University of Oxford in 1818. Buckland spent 1819-1822 investigating fossil remains in caves, in order to refine his concept of catastrophism. His research led him to the realisation that hyena remains in Kirkland Cave, Yorkshire, were the remains of an ancient ecosystem and were not relics of the Flood; this led to his being awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society of London in 1822. This volume, first published in 1823, contains a full account of Buckland's influential research in Kirkland Cave, which demonstrated for the first time the ability of scientific analysis to reconstruct events from deep time. Buckland's support for and influential revision of the concept of catastrophism is also illustrated in this volume.

Geology and Mineralogy Volume 2: Considered with Reference to Natural Theology is a book written by William Buckland and published in 1836. It is a comprehensive study of geology and mineralogy, with a particular focus on their relationship to natural theology. Buckland was a renowned geologist and paleontologist, and this book reflects his extensive knowledge of the subject matter.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with geology and includes chapters on the structure of the earth, the formation of rocks, and the history of the earth's surface. Buckland discusses the various types of rocks and minerals, their properties, and how they were formed. He also explores the different geological formations and how they are related to one another.The second part of the book focuses on mineralogy. Buckland examines the chemical and physical properties of minerals, their classification, and their uses. He also discusses the various processes by which minerals are formed and how they are extracted from the earth.Throughout the book, Buckland emphasizes the relationship between geology, mineralogy, and natural theology. He argues that the study of the earth and its minerals can help us understand the nature of God and the creation of the universe. He also explores the religious and philosophical implications of his scientific findings.Geology and Mineralogy Volume 2: Considered with Reference to Natural Theology is a fascinating and informative book that provides a comprehensive overview of geology and mineralogy. It is an important work in the history of science and theology and remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Moving away from his earlier belief in a short, catastrophic history of the Earth, Buckland's Treatise envisages instead progressive change as the Earth gradually cooled as it was prepared for human occupation.
