Excerpt from The Finding of True Facts: Being an Inaugural Address, Delivered at the First Meeting of the Association, on the 11th January, 1859
It is not the most laborious and successful searcher who is the most disposed to theorize, or the readiest to quarrel with the fruits won by a fellow-labourer. On the contiary, it is your men of small grasp and little range that are ever the quickest to shape a theory, and the most positive to maintain it. The firmer the grasp of the real facts of nature, and the wider the range of inquiry into these, the more cautious becomes the daring of the generalizer and the more strongly does he feel the importance of two things - first, that as many facts as possible shall be collected, by which every generalization shall be tried and second, that every fact got shall be a true fact. The latter is a point often not enough considered, and which I shall more fully touch on presently, - content with now reminding you that it has been said, with great justness, that there are even more falsefacts than there are false t/eeories in the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the founding meeting of the Geologistsâ Association and argues that the group is long overdue, as now more than ever, geology and its associated knowledge have become essential in planning, executing and maintaining modern public works projects. Historically, as individuals began studying and working outdoors, they observed patterns in the rock and soil, and this book explores how the Geologistsâ Association will enable these individuals to come together to collectively exchange information, compare findings, and build upon each other's work. The author posits there is an urgent need to define the true facts of geology and underscores the importance of geology as a practical science, especially for those at the forefront of building canals and railways. The author asserts that as the study of geology is increasingly important in the present day, the Geologistsâ Association will provide a forum for collecting and disseminating the best information available.
