  Geologie Brocchi, Giambattista Dello stato fisico del suolo di Roma, memoria per servire d'illustrazione alla carta geognostica di questa cittá. Mit 2 gef. kolor. Kupfertafeln u. 1 gef. kolor. geolog. Karte (diese separat gebunden). Roma, De Romanis, 1830. 281 S. 8°. Etwas späterer blauer HLdr. mit goldgepr. RTitel u. RVergoldung (minimal berieben). "Geology - With 2 fold., hand coloured plates and 1 fold., col. geological map in a separate volume. - First edition of this noteworthy work on the geology of Rome, with the often missing map ""Carta fisica del suolo di Roma ne primi tempi della fondazione di questa città. Di G. Brocchi"" (dis. by Campi and engr. by Pietro Ruga). - Brocchi corrected the erroneous views of Scipione Breislak, who conceived that Rome occupies the site of a volcano, which he ascribed the volcanic materials that cover the seven hills. Brocchi pointed out that these materials were derived either from Monte Albano, an extinct volcano, or from the Monti Cimini. - Map somewhat browned and with a small worm track in the white margin." "Poggendorff I, 303 - DSB II, 481: ""His 'De stato ..., still contains valuable data on the geology of the imperial city."" - Erste Ausgabe dieses bemerkenswerten Werkes über die Geologie von Rom, mit der oft fehlenden Karte ""Carta fisica del suolo di Roma ne primi tempi della fondazione di questa città. Von G. Brocchi"" (nach Campi von Pietro Ruga gestochen). - Brocchi korrigierte die irrigen Ansichten von Scipione Breislak, der meinte, Rom befinde sich auf dem Gelände eines Vulkans, dem er die vulkanischen Materialien zuordnete, die die Sieben Hügel bedecken. Brocchi wies darauf hin, dass diese Materialien entweder vom Monte Albano oder von den Monti Cimini stammten. - Karte etwas gebräunt u. mit Wurmgang im weißen Rand." *
