But there is an almost imperceptible transition from mapping rocks, which appear at the surface of the earth, to tracing those that are beneath, and from defining the extent of a formation to the determination of its history, as expressed in its lithological character and fossil remains. The idea, therefore, while being realised, expanded to much beyond its original dimensions, still there is scarcely any portion of the book in which the matter might not, with advantage, be enlarged. It has, however, been thought advisable to issue, as it is, this first edition, and leave for a second (should it ever be required) any further extension.
