Excerpt from The Old Red Sandstone: Or New Walks in an Old Field IN the autumn of last year, I sat down to write a few geo logical sketches for a newspaper; the accumulated facts of twenty years crowded upon me as I wrote, and the few sketches have expanded into a volume. Permit me, honored Sir, to dedicate this volume to you. Its imperfections are doubtless many, for it has been produced under many disadvan tages but it is not the men best qualified to decide regarding it whose criticisms I fear most; and I am especially desirous to bring it under your notice, as of all geologists the most thor oughly acquainted with those ancient formations which it pro fesses partially to describe. I am, besides, desirous it should be known, and this, I trust, from other motives than those of vanity, that, when prosecuting my humble researches in Oh scurity and solitude, the present President of the Geological Society did not deem it beneath him to evince an interest in the results to which they led, and to encourage and assist the inquirer with his advice. Accept, honored Sir, my sincere thanks for your kindness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
