On the Cause Date and Duration of the last Glacial Epoch of Geology, and the probable antiquity of man. With an investigation and description of a new movement of the earth
A geological and astronomical argument by Alfred Wilks Drayson, published in London in 1873, proposing a new movement of the earth to explain the timing of the last glacial epoch, addressed to scientific readers. The plates are spare line diagrams of circles and spheres marked with lettered points, dashed ecliptics, arcs and direction arrows, useful as clean geometric schematics and celestial-pole figures.
