Its goal was to consolidate scattered geological data for accessibility. The second edition, organized chronologically, showcased advancements in knowledge but excluded economic geology to maintain focus. Despite ongoing challenges with spelling standardization, partly resolved by referencing the Imperial Gazetteer, acknowledgments were extended to contributors like Prof. Suess and Dr. Blanford.
