Book Description
Excerpt from The Gold Rocks of Great Britain and Ireland: And a General Outline of the Gold Regions of the World, With a Treatise on the Geology of Gold The reason for my belief that gold would probably be found in England was that of the similarity of structure and position of the rocks to those of our Australian regions and elsewhere. Against this was the fact that English geologists, who had laboriously investigated the Silurian and other rocks, had not discovered gold, and had pronounced most unfavourably of the gold resources of England. I could not fail to be struck with the circumstance that Sir Roderick Murchison, who had so much contributed to the discovery of the gold regions of Australia, by pointing out their conformity with the Silurian rocks of the Ural, did not recognize any such conformity as to gold between the Silurian system of England, and that of the Ural, nor between that of England and Australia.

Book Description
When Archibald Liversidge first arrived at Sydney University in 1872 as reader in geology and assistant in the laboratory he had about ten students and two rooms in the main building. In 1874 he became professor of geology and mineralogy and by 1879 he had persuaded the senate to open a faculty of science. He became its first dean in 1882. Liversidge also played a major role in the setting up of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science which held its first congress in 1888. For anyone interested in Archibald Liversidge, his contribution to crystallography, mineral chemistry, chemical geology, strategic minerals policy and a wider field of colonial science.
