Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Geology: Intended to Convey a Practical Knowledge of the Science, and Comprising the Most Important Recent Discoveries; With Explanations of the Facts and Phenomena Which Serve to Confirm or Invalidate Various Geological Theories
In the course of the present work, I have frequently attempted to elucidate the geology of England, by comparisons with situa tions I have examined on the continent, in order to connect the geology of our own island, with that of France, Switzerland, and Savoy. By comprising the numerous facts and observations contained in the present volume, within the limits of an elemen tary work, from the desire to be concise, I may have run the risk of becoming obscure: this I have studiously endeavored to avoid.
