Excerpt from Geological Facts, or the Crust of the Earth, What It Is, and What Are Its Uses
I do not pretend to teach the Science of Geology; I aspire simply to give a taste for this noble and elevating physical study; and, im perfect as this little manual, written in the few hours of capricious leisure snatched from an incessant strain of engagements, must be, I shall only be too happy, if one and another lay aside my book, and go up higher to Lyell, Sedgwick, Buckland, Murchison, Ansted, Miller.
