Description: Eley, Henry; Geology in the Garden; Or, the Fossils in the Flint Pebbles London: Bell and Daldy, 1859. First Edition. First Edition. viii, 212pp., 12mo. Original green blind- stamped dark green cloth. Half-title, 12 plates, 2 maps, and 2 section plates. A very good copy of a scarce book by Reverend Henry Eley, who was a little-known Victorian cleric, the Vicar of Broomfield, Essex. The book describes and illustrates, with his own drawings engraved by J R Jobbins, "foraminifera" preserved in flint, which are some of the first recorded from Upper Cretaceous (southeast England). Eley's collection is preserved in The Natural History Museum, London. There are references to Charles Darwin in the text. Externally attractive, but missing everything before the title page. The frontispiece (plate III) is present but loose. Pages vii-x are present but loose. All plates, maps and section plates are present.
