Rita,
I can confirm the correct title of the book in question and will send 
a copy of the title page.  The book is:
_Traite elementaire de geologie_, par J. A. Deluc.  Paris: Chez 
Courcier, 1809.

Is a fax copy of the title page sufficient?

Hello!
 
I have a book on geology from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century
to catalog which has no title page.  It is in French, has 395 pages, and is 20
cm tall.  I've searched OCLC, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain this work.
 
Can anyone identify this and would someone be able to send a copy of the title
page?  Here are the headings and whatnot throughout the work which should help
with identification.  I've removed the diacritics for readability.
 
Elemens de Geologie.  Discours Preliminaire.  [p. 1]
Memoire [p. 53]
Seconde lettre au Docteur Hutton, Windsor, le 8 septembre 1790.  [p. 65]
Troisieme lettre au Docteur Hutton, Windsor, 4 janvier 1791. [p. 97]
Quartrieme lettre au Docteur Hutton,  Windsor, le 29 aout 1791. [p. 124]
 
 
Many thanks,
 
Rita Dockery
