THE FIRST EDITION, SECOND ISSUE, OF THE FIRST REDUCTION OF GREENOUGH'S GEOLOGICAL MAP.A good example of the first reprint of Greenough's large-scale geological map of 1820. Although 'reduced by permission' it curiously does not cite Greenough. One of the most significant geological maps of England and Wales ever published was produced by George Greenough (1778-1855). At the time of its publication in 1820 he was accused of plagiarism, just five years after the landmark work of William Smith published in 1815. Greenough was one of the founding members of the Geological Society of London and was its first president to 1811. 'In 1808 he first sketched the boundary-lines of the various strata in England and Wales, and in 1810 he travelled over a great part of the country for the purpose of mapping it. At the request of the Geological Society, he then, with the help of Conybeare, Buckland, and Henry Warburton, coloured a large scale-map drawn by Webster, and in 1820 published it in six sheets' (DNB).It began a bitter feud, Greenough published a 'Memoir of a Geological Map of England' in which he defended his work. He claimed 'Mr Smith's map was not seen by me till after its publication, and the use I have since made of it has been very limited. The two maps agree in many respects, not because the one has been copied from the other, but because both are correct â¦' (Memoir). 'Much has been written on to what extent Smith's Map influenced Greenough and exactly when the latter actually saw a version of the work, but certainly both the Society and Greenough were amongst the list of subscribers to the publication, and each received a copy of the first imprint. Tellingly, the sheets of Greenough's copy are marked with notes recording that he did indeed consult it, with comments such as 'This sheet can be of no further use to the Geol Map, Nov 1818' (Geological Society website).Greenough's map is now recognised as a separate work of scholarship which drew on other surveyors which he then collated. 'There are a number of key visual differences between the two men's maps, most notably the scale â" Smith's at 5 miles to the inch and Greenough's at 6 miles to the inch. Another distinction is that whilst Smith's base map has virtually all the topography removed, hills and mountains are included in Greenough's version. Smith's Map used his distinctive fading watercolour technique, whilst Greenough's employed flat colour washes and patterning to depict his stratigraphy' (The Geological Society). Greenough's six-sheet map was not issued again until 1839, making this the first re-issue of the map since originally published. It was first published with the date 1 June 1826; however, no copies are listed on Library Hub and only one auction record could be identified. This second issue bears a date of 21 July 1826, just seven weeks later. Alterations have been noted to the outline of the geological strata. Issues with this date are noted with printed slips added of either C. Smith or G. F. Cruchley over the imprint. None appears to be recorded with a Wyld imprint as here.The map was published by James Gardner (fl.1822-50) about whose early career little is known. Worms & Baynton-Williams speculate that he worked as a surveyor under Thomas Colby on the Ordnance Survey from about 1809-20. Certainly, he became the sole agent for the Ordnance Survey in 1823 on the retirement of William Faden. He was a founding member of the Royal Geographic Society in 1830. James Wyld (1790-1836) was an apprentice to William Faden and became Geographer to His Majesty George IV and later William IV. He too was a founder member of the Royal Geographic Society in 1830. He introduced lithography into mapmaking in 1812. His death in 1836 was said to be due to 'overwork'. Set within a piano-key styled bord.

Map
Rare reduction of Greenough's geological map of England and Wales Engraved map, fine original hand-colour, dissected and mounted on linen, folding into original green cloth slipcase, with publisher's label. Greenough (1778-1855) was the first President of the Geological Society, and was later President of the Royal Geographical Society. The Geological Society was founded in 1807, but Smith never became a member, although his geological work that was the basis of the map was well underway by then. Greenough had actually been shown a copy of an early version of Smith's map by the surveyor John Farey in 1802, who later attacked Greenough in the press for his "unhandsome conduct" in the matter (Philosophical Magazine). There were probably two reasons for this: personally, Smith probably could not afford the membership fee; and professionally, he advocated a method of differentiating between strata using the fossils in each layer. This theory went against the prevailing scientific method of inductivist reasoning, and was viewed with suspicion by most of his contemporaries. Greenough and other Society members visited Smith to look at his collection of fossils and the progress of his stratigraphical map, and were unconvinced by Smith's method, his claims to have done the field work for the map himself, and probably unimpressed by his plain lodgings (Herries Davies). Greenough decided (as he claimed later) that Smith did not have the resources to complete the project and initiated the production of an official map on behalf of the Geological Society. Greenough's map, with the financial backing of the Society, benefited from expert draughtsmanship and engraving, which Smith could not afford. Unlike Smith, however, Greenough did not conduct field work himself. Instead, he relied on the work of other geologists, including Smith - both he and the Society are on the list of subscribers to Smith's map - creating much debate as to the extent to which his map is derived from Smith's. It is clear that Greenough's work drew on Smith's method of delineating strata, and he does not credit Smith at all for this. There are, however, several stylistic differences between the two: Greenough uses a scale of 6 miles to the inch rather than 5; retains the topography whereas Smith removes it; and uses flat areas of colour rather than the fading watercolour washes employed by Smith. Greenough's map, and its lack of fieldwork, was met with a scathing reception by some. The geologist Thomas Webster called it "so very defective and inaccurate that I was obliged to begin de novo" (Winchester). It sold, however, by virtue of being produced under the auspices of the Society and because it was cheaper than Smith's work, which has been suggested as a deliberate ploy on Greenough's part (Winchester). Greenough was forced to defend his actions later, arguing that the similarities between his and Smith's work came about because both works were correct. Eventually, the 1868 edition of Greenough's map credited Smith for the first time, but by then it was too late. Smith had died in 1839, heavily in debt and unacknowledged.

Greenough's riposte to Smith in the battle of the geological maps Large engraved map with fine contemporary hand colour, in four sections dissected and laid on linen, separate key dissected and mounted on linen, together with, 8vo., xi, 29pp., booklet, original brown paper wrappers, title to upper cover, all housed in original brown cloth slipcase, with manuscript label. Second edition of George Bellas Greenough's geological map of the United Kingdom, here with the rare Memoir (introduction) to accompany the map. First published in 1819, four years after, and in response to, William Smith's seminal map on the same subject, and a key milestone in the history geology. Greenough (1778-1855) was the first President of the Geological Society, and was later President of the Royal Geographical Society. The Geological Society was founded in 1807, but Smith never became a member, although his geological work that was the basis of the map was well underway by then.

The present second edition has been greatly revised and updated by Greenough, and come here with the rare 'Memoir' (Introduction), in which Greenough sets out the various improvements to the maps design and the numerous sources on which he drew. One of the most striking differences is in the use of colour and pattern (something of a pet project of Greenough's) to represent different geological information, in.
