Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 453 by Various shares a collection of essays from the 1850s that show the science, society, and ideas of that time. From geologic threats to political arguments, the journal entry looks at a range of ideas meant to teach and excite readers. In the opening piece, "A Possible Event," a writer thinks about what would happen if large-scale geological events or colliding comets were to endanger the people on Earth. The author wonders why people ignore big natural risks and suggests people are too busy with their normal lives to realize how fragile life is. The essay then sparks discussions about destiny and how such events would change society. The journal thus launches a scientific and philosophical exploration.
