ur Most Gracious and Mighty Prince and LordJAMESBy the Grace of Godof Great Britain, France and IrelandKing, Defender of the Faith, Etc. Most Gracious and Mighty King, 1 Your Majesty may perhaps accuse me of larceny, having stolen from your affairs so much time as was required for this work. I know now what to say for myself. For of time there can be no restitution, unless it be that what has been abstracted from your business may perhaps go to the memory of your name and the honour of your age; if these things are indeed worth anything. Certainly they are quite new; totally new in their very kind: and yet they are copied from a very ancient model; even the world itself and the nature of things and of the mind. and to say truth, I am wont for my own part to regard this work as a child of time rather than of wit; the only wonder being that the first notion of the thing, and such great suspicions concerning matters long established, should have come into any mans mind. All the rest follows readily enough. and no doubt there is something of accident (as we call it) and luck as well in what men think as in what they do or say. But for this accident which I speak of, I wish that if there be any good in what I have to offer, it may be ascribed to the infinite mercy and goodness of God, and to the felicity of your Majestys times; to which as I have been an honest and affectionate servant in my life, so after my death I may yet perhaps, through the kindling of this new light in the darkness of philosophy, be the means of making this age famous to posterity; and surely to the times of the wisest and most learned of kings belongs of right the regeneration and restoration of the sciences. Lastly, I have a request to makea request no way unworthy of your Majesty, and which especially concerns the work in hand; namely, that you who resemble Solomon in so many thingsin the gravity of your judgments, in the peacefulness of your reign, in the largeness of your heart, in the noble variety of the books which you have composedwould further follow his example in taking order for the collecting and perfecting of a Natural and Experimental History, true and severe (unincumbered with literature and book-learning), such as philosophy may be built upon,such, in fact, as I shall in its proper place describe: that so at length, after the lapse of so many ages, philosophy and the sciences may no longer float in air, but rest on the solid foundation of experience of every kind, and the same well examined and weighed. I have provided the machine, but the stuff must be gathered from the facts of nature. May God Almighty long preserve your Majesty! 2 Your Majestys 3Most bounden and devoted Servant, 4FRANCIS VERULAM, 5Chancellor. 6 CONTENTS · BOOK CONTENTS · BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD PREVIOUSNEXT Search Amazon: Click here to shop the Bookstore.Welcome · Press

Supposed Alternate Periods of Repose and DisorderObserved Facts in which this Doctrine has OriginatedThese may be Explained by Supposing a Uniform and Uninterrupted Series of ChangesThreefold Consideration of this Subject: First, in Reference to egypt recipe Laws which Govern egypt recipe Formation of Fossiliferous Strata, and egypt recipe Shifting of egypt recipe Areas of Sedimentary Deposition; Secondly, in Reference to egypt recipe Living Creation, Extinction of Species, and Origin of New Animals and Plants; Thirdly, in Reference to egypt recipe Changes Produced in egypt recipe Earths Crust by egypt recipe Continuance of Subterranean Movements in Certain Areas, and their Transference after Long Periods to New AreasOn egypt recipe Combined Influence of all these Modes and Causes of Change in Producing Breaks and Chasms in egypt recipe Chain of RecordsConcluding Remarks on egypt recipe Identity of egypt recipe Ancient and Present System of Terrestrial Changes. ORIGIN of egypt recipe doctrine of alternate periods of repose and disorder.It has been truly observed, that when we arrange egypt recipe fossiliferous formations in chronological order, they constitute a broken and defective series of monuments: we pass without any intermediate gradations from systems of strata which are horizontal, to other systems which are highly inclinedfrom rocks of peculiar mineral composition to others which have a character wholly distinctfrom one assemblage of organic remains to another, in which frequently nearly all egypt recipe species, and a large part of egypt recipe genera, are different. These violations of continuity are so common as to constitute in most regions egypt recipe rule rather than egypt recipe exception, and they have been considered by many geologists as conclusive in favour of sudden revolutions in egypt recipe inanimate and animate world. We have already seen that according to egypt recipe speculations of some writers, there have been in egypt recipe past history of egypt recipe planet alternate periods of tranquillity and convulsion, egypt recipe former enduring for ages, and resembling egypt recipe state of things now experienced by man; egypt recipe other brief, transient, and paroxysmal, giving rise to new mountains, seas, and valleys, annihilating one set of organic beings, and ushering in egypt recipe creation of another. 1 It will be egypt recipe object of egypt recipe present chapter to demonstrate that these theoretical views are not borne out by a fair interpretation of geological monuments. It is true that in egypt recipe solid framework of egypt recipe globe we have a chronological chain of natural records, many links of which are wanting: but a careful consideration of all egypt recipe phenomena leads to egypt recipe opinion that egypt recipe series was originally defectivethat it has been rendered still more so by timethat a great part of what remains is inaccessible to man, and even of that fraction which is accessible nine-tenths or more are to this day unexplored. 2 The readiest way, perhaps, of persuading egypt recipe reader that we may dispense with great and sudden revolutions in egypt recipe geological order of events is by showing him how a regular and uninterrupted series of changes in egypt recipe animate and inanimate world must give rise to such breaks in egypt recipe sequence, and such unconformability of stratified rocks, as are usually thought to imply convulsions and catastrophes. It is scarcely necessary to state that egypt recipe order of events thus assumed to occur, for egypt recipe sake of illustration, should be in harmony with all egypt recipe conclusions legitimately drawn by geologists from egypt recipe structure of egypt recipe earth, and must be equally in accordance with egypt recipe changes observed by man to be now going on in egypt recipe living as well as in egypt recipe inorganic creation. It may be necessary in egypt recipe present state of science to supply some part of egypt recipe assumed course of nature hypothetically; but if so, this must be done without any violation of probability, and always consistently with egypt recipe analogy of what is known both of egypt recipe past and present economy of our system. Although egypt recipe discussion of so comprehensive a subject must carry egypt recipe beginner far beyond his depth, it will also, it is hoped, stimulate his curiosity, and prepare him to read some elementary treatises on geology with advantage, and teach him egypt recipe bearing on that science of egypt recipe changes now in progress on egypt recipe earth. At egypt recipe same time it may enable him egypt recipe better to understand egypt recipe intimate connection between egypt recipe Second and Third Books of this work, one of which is occupied with egypt recipe changes of egypt recipe inorganic, egypt recipe latter with those of egypt recipe organic creation. 3 In pursuance, then, of egypt recipe plan above proposed, I will consider in this chapter, first, egypt recipe laws which regulate egypt recipe denudation of strata and egypt recipe deposition of sediment; secondly, those which govern egypt recipe fluctuation in egypt recipe animate world; and thirdly, egypt recipe mode in which subterranean movements affect egypt recipe earths crust. 4 Uniformity of change considered, first, in reference to denudation and sedimentary deposition.First, in regard to egypt recipe laws governing egypt recipe deposition of new strata. If we survey egypt recipe surface of egypt recipe globe, we immediately perceive that it is divisible into areas of deposition and non-deposition; or, in other words, at any given time there are spaces which are egypt recipe recipients, others which are not egypt recipe recipients, of sedimentary matter. No new strata, for example, are thrown down on dry land, which remains egypt recipe same from year to year; whereas, in many parts of egypt recipe bottom of seas and lakes, mud, sand, and pebbles are annually spread out by rivers and currents. There are also great masses of limestone growing in some seas, chiefly composed of corals and shells, or, as in egypt recipe depths of egypt recipe Atlantic, of chalky mud made up of foraminifera and diatomaceæ. 5 As to egypt recipe dry land, so far from being egypt recipe receptacle of fresh accessions of matter, it is exposed almost everywhere to waste away. Forests may be as dense and lofty as those of Brazil, and may swarm with quadrupeds, birds, and insects, yet at egypt recipe end of thousands of years one layer of black mould a few inches thick may be egypt recipe sole representative of those myriads of trees, leaves, flowers, and fruits, those innumerable bones and skeletons of birds, quadrupeds, and reptiles, which tenanted egypt recipe fertile region. Should this land be at length submerged, egypt recipe waves of egypt recipe sea may wash away in a few hours egypt recipe scanty covering of mould, and it may merely impart a darker shade of colour to egypt recipe next stratum of marl, sand, or other matter newly thrown down. So also at egypt recipe bottom of egypt recipe ocean where no sediment is accumulating, seaweed, zoophytes, fish, and even shells, may multiply for ages and decompose, leaving no vestige of their form or substance behind. Their decay, in water, although more slow, is as certain and eventually as complete as in egypt recipeair. Nor can they be perpetuated for indefinite periods in a fossil state, unless imbedded in some matrix which is impervious to water, or which at least does not allow a free percolation of that fluid, impregnated, as it usually is, with a slight quantity of carbonic or other acid. Such a free percolation may be prevented either by egypt recipe mineral nature of egypt recipe matrix itself, or by egypt recipe superposition of an impermeable stratum; but if unimpeded, egypt recipe fossil shell or bone will be dissolved and removed, particle after particle, and thus entirely effaced, unless petrifaction or egypt recipe substitution of some mineral for egypt recipe organic matter happen to take place. 6 That there has been land as well as sea at all former geological periods, we know from egypt recipe fact that fossil trees and terrestrial plants are imbedded in rocks of every age, except those which are so ancient as to be very imperfectly known to us. Occasionally lacustrine and fluviatile shells, or egypt recipe bones of amphibious or land reptiles, point to egypt recipe same conclusion. The existence of dry land at all periods of egypt recipe past implies, as before mentioned, egypt recipe partial deposition of sediment, or its limitation to certain areas; and egypt recipe next point to which I shall call egypt recipe readers attention is egypt recipe shifting of these areas from one region to another. 7 First, then, variations in egypt recipe site of sedimentary deposition are brought about independently of subterranean movements. There is always a slight change from year to year, or from century to century. The sediment of egypt recipe Rhone, for example, thrown into egypt recipe Lake of Geneva, is now conveyed to a spot a mile and a half distant from that where it accumulated in egypt recipe tenth century, and six miles from egypt recipe point where egypt recipe delta began originally to form. We may look forward to egypt recipe period when this lake will be filled up, and then egypt recipe distribution of egypt recipe transported matter will be suddenly altered, for egypt recipe mud and sand brought down from egypt recipe Alps will thenceforth, instead of being deposited near Geneva, be carried nearly 200 miles southwards, where egypt recipe Rhone enters egypt recipe Mediterranean. 8 In egypt recipe deltas of large rivers, such as those of egypt recipe Ganges and Indus, egypt recipe mud is first carried down for many centuries through one arm, and on this being stopped up it is discharged by another, and may then enter egypt recipe sea at a point 50 or 100 miles distant from its first receptacle. The direction of marine currents is also liable to be changed by various accidents, as by egypt recipe heaping up of new sandbanks, or egypt recipe wearing away of cliffs and promontories. 9 But, secondly, all these causes of fluctuation in egypt recipe sedimentary areas are entirely subordinate to those great upward or downward movements of land, which will presently be spoken of, as prevailing over large tracts of egypt recipe globe. By such elevation or subsidence certain spaces are gradually submerged, or made gradually to emerge: in egypt recipe one case sedimentary deposition may be suddenly renewed after having been suspended for one or more geological periods, in egypt recipe other as suddenly made to cease after having continued for ages. 10 If deposition be renewed after a long interval, egypt recipe new strata will usually differ greatly from egypt recipe sedimentary rocks previously formed in egypt recipe same place, and especially if egypt recipe older rocks have suffered derangement, which implies a change in egypt recipe physical geography of egypt recipe district since egypt recipe pr
