This too brief essay, on natural history from a geological point of view, was given as a public lecture in the mid nineteenth century by a mining engineer and professor. Besides giving a brief history of our planet, it offers an interesting foil for today's preoccupation with climate change. The original French version is available from www.e-rara.ch: "La chaleur int?rieure du globe, son origine, ses effets" .
