Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ...body of water in the Upper Lakes of Canada do not find a lower level, as in the course of ages they probably will do, arises from the nature of the ground through which they are working their channel, which is hard, rocky, and irregular; for ."where the soil or bed of a country through which a water-track passes is not of a soft consistence, so as to allow readily the Arnott's " Elements of Physics," vol. i. p. 279. wearing down of higher parts and the filling up of hollows by depositing sand, lakes, rapids, and great irregularities of current remain.
