- Wood's Account of the Isle of Man, Book 1, Chapter 1: Geology, Mineralogy & Geography
- Description
- A detailed geological and mineralogical survey of the Isle of Man from 1811, describing the island's physical geography, rock formations, mineral deposits (lead, copper), and natural resources. While primarily a scientific work on geology, it provides context on the island's natural wealth and economic resources that were relevant to the 1765 Revestment negotiations, particularly regarding mining rights and the Duke of Atholl's prerogatives over mineral extraction.
