Excerpt from The Caves of the Earth: Their Natural History, Features, and Incidents Caverns, differing endlessly in the detail, may be divided into three groups, each group being marked by a leading structural peculiarity. The first class are cavities, more or less narrow and prolonged, Open to the daylight at one extremity, and penetrating laterally or vertically the surface of the earth. The lateral direction is commonly followed, but the vertical is frequently met with. As an example of the latter, a yawning chasm in the limestone strata of the Peak of Derbyshire may be cited, locally called eldon-hole, formerly regarded as one of the wonders of that district, on account of its supposed unfathomable depth. Hobbes has celebrated it in Latin hexameters, and Cotton in rude English verse. Cotton endeavoured to ascertain its depth by a line from the brink, but without success, the weight of the rope being mistaken for the weight of the plummet, and hence suffered to descend1 coiling up at the bottom, or at a point where it was accidentally stopped.

Threatened by the proliferation of cheap, mass-produced publications, the Religious Tract Society issued a series of publications on popular science during the 1840s. The books were intended to counter the developing notion that science and faith were mutually exclusive, and the Society's authors employed a full repertoire of evangelical techniques—low prices, simple language, carefully structured narratives—to convert their readers. The application of such techniques to popular science resulted in one of the most widely available sources of information on the sciences in the Victorian era. A fascinating study of the tenuous relationship between science and religion in evangelical publishing, Science and Salvation examines questions of practice and faith from a fresh perspective. Rather than highlighting works by expert men of science, Aileen Fyfe instead considers a group of relatively undistinguished authors who used thinly veiled Christian rhetoric to educate first, but to convert as well. This important volume is destined to become essential reading for historians of science, religion, and publishing alike.
