This important memoir, which made the author the founder of experimental geolop;y, contains his classic experira. ents 

 undertaken in support of the Huttonian Theory. ' He showed, in opposition to the Wernerians, that bisalt and even 

 bottle-glass, when fused and very slowly cooled, became stony and. crystalline, and not glassy ; that carbonate of lime, 

 when heated under pressure, was not burnt into quicklime, but became a crystalline marble.'— D. iV. B.

' He showed [in the above papers] that the vertical positions and convolutions of stratain the neighbDurhood of granite 

 have been produced by its intrusion in a molten state cAUbing lateral pressure ; and gave a true account of the formation 

 of volcanic cones as illustrated by Vesuvius.'— D. N. B.

 accurato Calculo ex DLstantiis supputatas, et ad Annum 1677 completum correctas, cum ipsis 

 Observationibus in Insula S. Helena . . . accedit Appendicula de Rebui quibusdam 

 Astronomicis, sm. 4to. cl. (very rare), £2. 2s Londini, 1679 



Very important as the first star catalogue of the Southern Hemisphere, comprising 341 stars observed at St. 

 Helena, reduced to 1677. 



'His enterprise laid the foundation of austral stellar astronomy, and earned for him from Flamsteed the title of the 

 ' Southern Tycho.' In the course of the voyage he improved the sextant, collected a number of valuable facts relative to 

 the ocean and atmosphere, noted the equatorial retardation of the pendulum, and made at St. Helena, on 7 Nov. 1G77, the 

 first complete observation of a transit of Mercury.' — Miss Agnes M. Gierke. 



An account of the latter is included in the ' appendicula ', which also contains the first suggestion of ascertaining the 

 solar parallax by the transits of Venus.

 'Stellarum Annuas Aberrationes Supputandi Methodus', 'Tabula Logarithmorum Logisticorum ', and ' Lunse Meridianai 

 Ascensiones Rectiii ', as well as a reprint of his celebrated ' Synopsis Astronomia Cometicis,' in which he identified the 

 comets of 1531, 1607, and 1682 (' Halley's Comet ')as one and the same, and laid the foundation of modern cometary astronomy.
