Title: ‘The diametric section of the principles and theories of geology’
Creator: Charles Moxon & C Chabot
Description: The print, ‘The diametric section of the principles and theories of geology’, is dedicated to the President, Council and Fellows of the Geological Society. It was sold at a price of 10s 6d.
The central diametric section clearly owes a debt to an ‘Ideal Section of a Portion of the Earth’s Crust…’ which appeared in William Buckland’s ‘Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology’ (1836).
