  </mods:physicalDescription>
  <mods:abstract>Three poems about geology transcribed by Edward Hitchcock. The original authorship of all three poems is unclear. The first two poems, "A Poetical Geognosy" and "Geological Cookery" may be by Robert Bakewell or John Scafe. The third is an excerpt from a longer poem published in the Christian Observer in 1834, which Hitchcock attributes to a Rev. Mr. Wilks in his "The Religion of Geology and its Connected Sciences".</mods:abstract>
  <mods:note type='date'>It is unclear when Hitchcock wrote these transcriptions, but the final poem transcribed was published in the Christian Observer in April 1834.</mods:note>
