Title: Essay on the Theory of the Earth... With Mineralogical Notes and an Account of Cuvier's Geological Discoveries by Professor Jameson.

Schneiderman by Stephen Jay Gould.

Cuvier discusses the Deluge and various strata that display alternating marine and freshwater deposits, subtly challenging accepted Biblical conceptions of creation.
