Dear fellow geologist,

I have found a thing of exquisite beauty in the Oxfam book shop in Stroud yesturday. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it - I spent a whole 12 quid on it so I expect you all to ogle it and go ooooooo lots!

Isn't it just the best? Notice the date if you will on this next photo!

1895!!!!!!! Wow - not only is it one of our oldest books but just wow! I found it becuase I was looking for a presant for Al who collects old technical and scienific books.

For us RSM peeps T H Huxley is very very improtant

I am horrified at the wikipedia artical on the guy - yo geologists that are better than me - go and put our history into the artical please!

I would give a link telling people about T H Huxley and stuff to do with the Huxley school, the RSM and Imperial college but I cant find a decent write up or the pages dont work - why am I not suprised? If a peeps knows of anything good I could link to let me know?

Thanks

Oh and isnt the book lovely - for those who cant read the title on the book its Science and Education Essays by T. H. Huxley its volum III though so now I suppose I have to hunt the others down to make a nice set!

Sarah is very happy - geology love and old book love combined in one precoius bundle - sarah skips away into the sunset to read - woundering vaguely if it should be done with rubber gloves on? Hmmm.... maybe I should get Al to do more reading of old books.
