Excerpt from Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and the Museum of Practical Geology: Of the Tertiary Fluvio-Marine Formation of the Isle of Weight

But though the present Memoir may be as full in its descriptive portion as the author himself ever intended to make it, I cannot but feel that the table Of contents has the promise Of several distinct disquisitions Of a more speculative kind, and which, to many readers, would have been the more interesting portions Of the subject. With respect to some of them, I have not been able to meet with any suffi cient notes or references from which the views Of the author might fairly be inferred. In matters of this kind, the duties Of an editor are definite and Obvious. He must not allow the recollections of views which may have been advanced in conversation to stand in the place Of an author's matured and adopted opinions; nor even with respect to notes and memoranda, must he venture to take them as more than as passing thoughts, or as subjects for inquiry.
