This work analyses major aspects of this question from 1770, the date of the first application by British officers to the East India Company for permission to open mines in India, to 1851, the `official' date of the founding of the Geological Survey of India. This is not a study of the development of geology as scientific theory but rather attempts an examination of both official and non-official British attitudes towards India's geological resources. By situating this history of geology firmly within its political, social and economic contexts, ' questions are illuminated concerning the character and role of `colonial science' in its relationship to the evolving State. The broad conclusions are that, a) with few exceptions, the State only reluctantly appropriated the mineral resources of India, and that this reluctance clearly related to the influence of both economics and ideas; b) perceptions of India, both of its environment and society, were strongly influenced by geological discourse; and c)

The book grows out of Davison's profound interest in the routines and rhythms ofurban society, the domestic arithmetic of material life, the invisible architecture ofthecity;it builds satisfyingly on his superb essay on Energy' published in a volume of the bicentennial history of Australia, Australians 1888 (1987). It extends and deepensan earlier influential analysis of Australian space and time, Geoffrey Blainey's The Tyranny ofDistance (1966). Butit is a preacher-John Wesley-trather than an inventor or theorist who haunts andinspires this book, for Davison's central concern, as his title declares, is the morality of time. 'Australia' was.a child not of the scientific.and industrial revolutions of the eighteenth-century', writes Davison, 'but of the religious and moral revolution known as the Evangelical Revival'. Thus Davison makes his essay on timealso a history of the pursuit of punctuality, discipline and efficiency-of the 'competitive, guilt-inducing, masculine morality' of the unforgiving minute-andso offers an unexpected and tewarding meditation on personality, belief and temperament in the European possession of Australia.
