Excerpt from Geology for Beginners, Comprising a Familiar Explanation of Geology, and Its Associate Sciences

The motives which have induced the author to prepare this production for the public are briefly these: - During the course of some experience as a lecturer on Geology, he has constantly recommended the various works already published on the science, and, as constantly, has been requested to name some treatise more particularly intended for the tyro, and more expressly designed to convey that preliminary information which the mere beginner is so anxious to acquire, some volume, in short, more introductory than the excellent Introduction of Mr. Bakewell - more elementary than the admirable Elements of Mr. Lyell.
