Cadenhead to title pages, browning to endpapers. Good+ in custom archival mylar covers. JOHN BIRD SUMNER (1780-1862) was educated at Eton from 1791 to 1798, when he proceeded, being the first of his year, to King's College, Cambridge. He was appointed in 1820 to Durham Cathedral. In 1828 he was nominated by the Duke of Wellington to the bishopric of Chester, and by 1847 had consecrated more than two hundred new churches. In 1848 he was enthroned as Archbishop at Canterbury Cathedral. In 1848 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. His most notable publication, A Treatise on the Records of the Creation and the Moral Attributes of the Creator (offered here) went through seven editions (1816-1872). He rested his principal evidence of the existence of the Creator upon the credibility of the Mosaic records of the creation and accepted the conclusions of geological science as understood in 1815. Sir Charles Lyell afterwards appealed to it in proof that revelation and geology are not necessarily discordant forces. M Millhauser in Just Before Darwin (1959) wrote: "The first important voice of the nineteenth century to be raised in comment on the relation of Scripture to geology was the liberal one of Archbishop Sumner of Canterbury. His Treatise on the Records of Creation (1816) urged the consonance of geology with revelation so effectively that Lyell cited it in his own attempt to win for geology the friendship of orthodox believers. Sumner's position embraced two theses, each later to be advanced separately in the interests of reconciliation: first, that Moses, in his account of the Creation, spoke deliberately in terms comprehensible to his own prescientific age, and hence told a somewhat oversimplified version of the whole cosmic story; second, that Moses therefore recorded only one--that which most immediately concerned mankind--of a whole series of creations: that during the Six Days of Genesis the Creator merely "rearranged " the wrecks and fragments of many previous worlds. He thus explicitly accepts the doctrine, urged also about this time by Chalmers, that a strict examination of the language of Scripture admits of the possibility of an "interval" between the creation referred to in the first verse of Genesis and that described in the next thirty: between, that is, "the beginning" and the Six Days. During this indefinite period the earlier worlds could have been formed and convulsively destroyed. This "interval" theory rapidly became the popular, respectable, and all but standard means of reconciliation between geology and Holy Writ."
