1849023028The Wernerian Club 1849. Published in three parts with title page printed in red and black and dated 1849-50. Octavo 143 pages slight occasional age-toning on the text pages two small marginal stamps of Worthing Public Librarybut otherwise extrmely clean internally. Recently bound in an attractive dark green loire cloth very slightly marked. RARE. The most complete edition in any language. Originally published in German in 1774 - "Von den äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien" - it was later translated by Thomas Weaver Dublin 1805 which had the benefit of incorporating manuscript corrections by the author himself additions which he had circulated amongst his pupils notes taken during his lectures in 1791-92 and hints from the mineralogies of his disciples Wiedenmann and Emmerling. This final edition published by the Wernerian Society incorporates these additions into the same text making them as near as might be to the same text. RARE. The Wernerian Natural History Society 1808 - 1858 commonly abbreviated as the Wernerian Society was a learned society interested in the broad field of natural history and saw papers presented on various topics such as mineralogy plants insects and scholarly expeditions. The Society was an offshoot of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and from its beginnings it was a rather elite organization. This publication was probably the last they produced as there were no meetings from 1850-1856 which coincided with the decline of the president Robert Jameson. It was eventually decided to close the Society down and dispose of its assets. Werner 1749 - 1817 was a German geologist who set out an early theory about the stratification of the Earth's crust and propounded a history of the Earth that came to be known as Neptunism. While most tenets of Neptunism were eventually set aside Werner is remembered for his demonstration of chronological succession in rocks; for the zeal with which he infused his pupils; and for the impulse he thereby gave to the study of geology. He has been called the "father of German geology". Cloth. Very Good. The Wernerian Club Hardcover
