	Abraham Gottlob Werner - Wikipedia
		Werner wurde als Sohn des Gräflich-Solmsschen Eisenhüttenwerksinspektors zu Wehrau und Lorzendorf (Lorenzdorf, heute: Ławszowa), Abraham David Werner, geboren und bereits 1764 als Hüttenschreiber und Gehilfe bei seinem Vater angestellt.
		Werner war der Ansicht, dass der Ursprung der Bildung von Mineralen und der Veränderung der Erdoberfläche im Wasser zu suchen sei und begründete damit den so genannten Neptunismus: Alle Gesteine entstanden demnach hintereinander in einem durch die Sintflut geschaffenen Ozean; erst wurden magmatische, dann metamorphe Gesteine, darauf Sedimentgesteine und schließlich Oberflächensedimente abgelagert.
		1851 wurde Abraham Gottlob Werner in den Promenaden zu Freiberg ein von Prof.

		Werner's father was inspector of the Duke of Solm's ironworks, and he wished his son to join him there one day.
		Werner the mineralogist, recognizing that chemistry and crystallography were not sophisticated enough to help establish a mineralogical system, worked up simple descriptive standards of classification instead, sure enough for the time being that external characteristics were not unrelated to chemical makeup.
		Werner the geologist was the first to work out a complete schema for the earth's structure, and in particular, the history of its formation.

		Enormously influential, Abraham Gottlob Werner left both a good and bad legacy to the science of geology.
		Despite a keen understanding of rock minerology, Werner redefined "formation" to refer not to the chemical makeup of a rock, but to the timing of its development.
		Werner didn't overturn the commonly held belief in the biblical flood, but he did recognize a different group of rocks that didn't fit this classification: rocks with a few fossils that were younger than primary rocks but older than secondary rocks.

		He also developed the later discarded theory of neptunism - that the Earth was initially covered by water, with every mineral in suspension; as the water receded, layers of rocks 'crystallized'.
		Werner was born in Silesia and studied at the Mining School at Freiberg, Saxony, and the University of Leipzig.
		Werner's geology was particularly important for establishing a physically based stratigraphy, grounded on precise mineralogical knowledge.

		Werner (1774) discussed the use of hardness as a tool for mineral classification and proposed a relative hardness scale in his Treatise on the External Characters of Fossils.
		Werner’s relative hardness scale was published when he was twenty-four years old, before he became a professor at the Bergakademie in Freiberg, Germany.
		Werner became one of the most famous “geologists” of the period, and was extremely influential in educating many of the “early” developers of modern geological theory.

		Plutonists, who proposed that the Earth's rocks were all originally solidified from a molten mass and later altered by other processes, were opposed by Neptunists, whose leading exponent was the German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner.
		Werner hypothesized that the Earth's crust is a series of layers derived from mechanical and chemical sedimentary deposits laid down by a vast ocean, in a regular sequence, like the layers of an onion.
		By contrast, the Scottish geologist James Hutton and the Plutonists, as his followers were called, distinguished sedimentary rocks from intrusive rocks of volcanic origin.

		The German naturalist Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) wrote the first modern textbook of descriptive mineralogy and was the major proponent of the Neptunian theory of the earth.Abraham Werner was born on Sept. 25, 1749, at Wehrau in Upper Lusatia (Prussian Silesia).
		Despite his ever present dogmatism, Werner did, however, demonstrate the value of a geometrical classification of veins, and he also gave excellent descriptions of their internal structures.In bad health, Werner retired to Dresden, where he died, a bachelor, on June 30, 1817.
		His death was felt by most of the profession as a relief from a unique example of scientific despotism during which a man of genius tried unsuccessfully, for his entire life, to mold nature into an inflexible framework.

		Werner and his students interpreted the mountains themselves as proof of the early ocean and an indication of its original depth.
		Indeed, Werner saw the high salt level of the existing ocean as further proof of a much deeper primal ocean.
		Generally, the followers of Werner began to think of long periods of time in which the agency of water was enough to explain the varieties of earth's features.

	L.H. Conklin - James Sowerby
		In placing the era in which James Sowerby worked and assembled his collection of minerals in historical context, it should be remembered that at the time of the publication of the first part of British Mineralogy in 1802, mineralogy was virtually the exclusive preserve of medical doctors, and chemists were just beginning to analyze minerals.
		Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-l817), "the father of mineralogy," was still to have 15 productive years at Freiberg in which to enhance his reputation; René Just Haüy (l743-1826), the "founder of mathematical crystallography," was to continue publishing his mineralogical research for another 20 years.
		Indeed in America, 1802 was the year of the legendary pilgrimage in which Benjamin Silliman of Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut, was obliged to take that institution's mineral collection "in a candle box," to faraway Philadelphia in order to have the minerals properly identified by Adam Seybert and the other experts there.
