On Slaty Cleavage (1847)

By Daniel Sharpe

Book Overview

On Slaty Cleavage is a geological book written by Daniel Sharpe and published in 1847. The book discusses the concept of slaty cleavage, which is the tendency of rocks to split along parallel planes. Sharpe argues that this phenomenon is not the result of external forces, but rather an inherent property of the rocks themselves. He also explores the various types of slaty cleavage and their geological implications. The book is written in a technical style and is intended for geologists and other scientists interested in the field of geology. Overall, On Slaty Cleavage is an important contribution to the study of geology and remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
