    Description

    Here is the very scarce book Vestiges of the Molten Globe Part II The Earth's Surface Features and Volcanic Phenomena by William Lowthian Green, with a nice foldout map in the back.
    My understanding is that few of these volume 2s were printed and sent to the author in England, so the book is rather scarce.
    The map is too--evidently one of the earlier maps of the Hawaiian volcanoes, nicely done and SCARCE.
