Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Geonomy: A Treatise on the Physical Laws of the Earth and the Creation of the Continents, Founded Upon Recent Discoveries
In this treatise those facts are mostly accounted for upon the theory that the weight of the atmosphere, the ocean, and the stratified deposits, pressing unequally upon the granite crust of the earth, causes it to sink une qually, and by reaction produces upward movements of the lava and of the land, and gives birth to earth quakes, volcanoes, mountains, and continents.
