Lectures Notes [Tannatt William Edgeworth (TWE) David] (Series 1483)

This series contains notes in TWE David's hand. Many of the folios were exceptionally brittle; they were copied onto buffered paper (Archive Text Wove), however, the originals have not been retained as the paper disintegrated on photocopying.

Most of the notes were written for lectures to students of Geology II and Geology III at the University of Sydney. There are few notes written for students in Geology I. The subject with the greatest volume of notes is designated "physiography" by David. The arrangement of the lecture notes is inconsistent to some extent. Most lecture notes identified as Geology II have been arranged chronologically under this heading. Most lecture notes identified as "physiography" have been arranged as a single item, chronologically as far as possible. David re-used and amalgamated portions of previous year's lecture notes and amended his notes.

See Series 1452 for press cuttings on the Borchgrevnik expedition to Antarctica annotated by David "Keep for 1t year lectures". The series includes brochures and some notes for David's lectures under the auspices of the University Extension Board. The lecture notes written for a series of lectures given by David at the University of London were written for students of advanced geology. See also Series 1463 and 1467 which probably include notes written for lectures, and Series 1493, Item 2 on "Savagery and Civilisations."
