A Memoir to the Map & Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales

This is a reproduction of William Smith’™s famous memoir that accompanies the 1815 geological map of ‘˜A Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales, with part of Scotland’™ (series 53. issued between 2 November 1815 and 17 December 1815). Re-mastered from an original held in the British Geological Survey Library, A Memoir to the Map and Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales, with Part of Scotland (its full title) is a booklet explaining the homonymous geological map. It features a rather personal introduction by the author elaborating on the drive and methods he used to create the map, and the importance of producing such a detailed document. This is followed by a section with an explanation of the subject of strata, and of the colours by which they are represented on the map, and including two-page spread table representations. In the following chapter you will find a general account of soil and substrata in the respective counties, 41 plus part of Scotland (extending to Perth and north of Glasgow). The memoir ends with a section on the characteristic distinctions of soil and surface in the courses of the respective strata, described in the order in which their edges successively terminate, where you can read more about the location and the consistency of the soil, from clay and brick-earth to granite, sienite and gneiss.This is a beautifully bound reproduction which is a wonderful work to acquire on its own as well as a companion to the geological map.
