Essay on the Theory of the Earth was the last work of the
scientific writer Robert Kerr who translated it from the
introductory essay of George Cuvier's four-volume Recherches sur
les ossements fossiles de quadrup des. Before its first publication
in 1813, the essay was partly expanded by the geologist and natural
historian Robert Jameson who wrote a preface and included extensive
notes on mineralogy. Using geological evidence as its principal
source of enquiry, Cuvier's essay attempts to address the questions
of the origins of the human race, the formation of the earth, and
the correlation between incomplete fossil remains and existing
species of animals. Extremely influential in its own time, the
essay remains a source of considerable insight into the early
development of geological research, examining issues of continued
significance today.
