Recreations in Geology

Excerpt from Recreations in Geology

In the Preliminary Discourse, an attempt has been made to call the reader's attention to the nature and advantages of Geology, with the view of rendering the subject more interesting to all; and in the hope that, should this little treatise fall into the hands of any who consider this science as trivial and unimportant, such may be led to regard it in a light more in accordance with its actual value.

It would have been highly satisfactory to have referred to the various authorities consulted in this work. It has, however, been deemed advisable to avoid the numerous references which this would necessarily have entailed.
