Excerpt from The Dynamical Theory of the Formation of the Earth, Vol. 1
Many years have elapsed since the fundamental principles of the Cosmographical Theory, whose development occupies the following pages, presented themselves to our mind.
Some of these have been passed under a tropical sky, and others in the more cloudy and sombre regions of our native land; vicissitudes of circumstances, and changes in life, and, consequent thereon, variations of mental habitudes have intervened - indeed, have intentionally been permitted to intervene - until the undeniable effects of time warn us to postpone no longer - in order that, by every possible test, we might prove the soundness of the remarkable but indestructible conclusion to which our earlier studies had led us - namely, That the Earth did not Always Rotate Around Its Axis.
