Descripción

A clean sound copy of the scarce First Edition in original publishers cloth & brown coated endpapers with the label of Duncan Watson to the paste-down and a later inscription to the half-title. Medium.8vo (9"x6") xxxii.464pps+32p publishers cat dated Oct 1886 partially un-opened. A very tight copy with the usual scattered foxing mainly to the prelims. Howorth rejected the Uniformitarianism of Hutton and Lyell and here attacks the Ice Age Theory in favour of water. In 1905, he wrote another book Ice or Water that attempted to refute the Glacial Theory in detail.
