John Murray (1778–1820) was a public lecturer and prolific writer on chemistry and geology. This popular volume, first published anonymously in 1802, contains Murray's critical response to John Playfair's Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory of the Earth. Murray's discussion illustrates the variety of contemporary geological theories.
