Antique Victorian Book Work-Days of God Morris Religious Science Bible Leather
Work-Days of God; or, Science and the Bible. (1877, New & Enlarged Edition). This is one of those books that makes you stop flipping pages and say. Wait. They really printed this? Sits right at the crossroads where Victorian science, theology, fossil fever, and cosmic speculation all collided-sometimes politely, sometimes head-on. Morris, a former professor of mathematics, set out to prove that science and the Bible were not enemies, but parallel revelations of divine order. The result is a deeply earnest, occasionally jaw-dropping tour through astronomy, geology, paleontology, and theology -all filtered through a 19th-century worldview that feels alien, confident, and endlessly fascinating today. Why this book is genuinely strange (in the best way). This isn’t a dry sermon. Inside you’ll find. Pre-Adamite worlds illustrated with gigantic fossil creatures. Dramatic engravings of ammonites, prehistoric animals, and geological cataclysms. Early attempts to reconcile deep time with Genesis. Moon studies, star fields, and cosmic diagrams presented as evidence of divine design. Language that treats fossils not as curiosities-but as. The handwriting of God in stone. Victorian science wasn’t timid-and this book proves it. Eye-popping moments & themes. (Perfect for collectors who like their antiques a little unhinged). The Earth presented as a theater of successive divine experiments. Fossils framed as intentional revelations, not accidents. The natural world described as a second Bible, readable through reason. Prehistoric monsters depicted with theatrical intensity bordering on science fiction. If Jules Verne and a Sunday sermon had a very serious baby, this would be it. Physical description & condition. Date: 1877 (New & Enlarged Edition). Binding: Original black leather with deeply embossed panels and heavy gold stamping. Cover motifs: Celestial bodies, scripture banners, globes, stars, and symbolic creatures. Spine tight and square. Mild foxing, primarily on tissue guards. Plates and text clean and legible.
