(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Century of Science and Other Essays: Look inside the book: Geologists before Lyell had been led to the conclusion that the general aspect of the earth's surface with which we are familiar is by no means its primitive or its permanent aspect, but that there has been a succession of ages, in which the relations of land and water, of mountain and plain, have varied to a very considerable extent; in which soils and climatesPg 11 have undergone most complicated vicissitudes; and in which the earth's vegetable products and its animal populations have again and again assumed new forms, while the old forms have passed away. ... But ever since our earth cooled to a point at which its solid crust acquired stability, since the earliest mollusks and vertebrates began to swim in the seas and worms to crawl in the damp ground, if at almost any time we could have come here on a visit, we should doubtless have found things going on at measured pace very much as at present,—here and there earthquake and avalanche, fire and flood, but generally rain falling, sunshine quickening, herbage sprouting, creatures of some sort browsing, all as quiet and peaceful as a daisied field in June, without the slightest visible presage of the continuous series of minute secular changes that were gradually to transform a Carboniferous world into what was by and by to be a Jurassic world, and that again into what was after a whilePg 13 to be an Eocene world, and so on, until the aspect of the world that we know to-day should noiselessly steal upon us. ...It was proved beyond question that the world was not created in the form in which we find it to-day, but has gone through many phases, of which the later are very different from the earlier; and it was shown that, so far as the inorganic world is concerned, the changes can be much more satisfactorily explained by a reference to the ceaseless, all-pervading activity of gentle, unobtrusive causes such as we know than by an appeal to imaginary catastrophes such as we have no means of verifying.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Century of Scientific Thought Other Essays There is a lovely mountain tarn, one of the many in that region of natural beauties known as Kerry, to which my thoughts have often turned whilst thinking over the subject of this article. High up, embosomed in the mountains, for the most part of the year it is even unfishable, because its sheltered position leaves its surface too glassy for the trout to be deceived by the fly. When, however, the wind blows from the right quarter, what a change in the lake! Its mirror-like surface is torn with waves, miniature waterspouts and spindrift rage and tear over its face. It is hardly recognizable as the peaceful thing it was, and will be again. For when the wind dies down, once more the pool returns to its peaceful state; once more puts on its glassy surface. Yet, no doubt, profound changes have taken place in the disposition of its waters: they are not as they were. The depths of the pool have been stirred, all cannot be as it was before the storm raged. The pool is the same, though a profound reconstruction of its constituent parts may have taken place. And any dweller by its shores could tell the casual visitor that such a storm, such a reconstruction, such a subsequent calm, was no unique experience, but a thing which had happened before, and must be expected to happen again.
