An Essay Towards a Natural History of the Earth

Meer over het boek

The third edition of this controversial work, reissued in 1723, presents the arguments of a prominent English naturalist connecting fossils to the biblical flood. It explores the implications of fossil findings in the context of religious beliefs, challenging prevailing scientific views of the time. This text not only reflects the naturalist's innovative thinking but also engages with the intersection of science and theology during a pivotal era in natural history.
