Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Philadelphia. His aim has been merely to so interpret many of natures teachings as to render them readily comprehensible to the average mind, and to awaken that spirit for investigation which cannot but prove both pleasurable and profitable, and which, unfortunately, only too frequently remains dormant for want of proper cultivation. With this object in view he has omitted superfluous details, and the discussion of questions which are in the main still of a controversial character. The observations recorded are almost exclusively such as have fallen to the personal notice of the author, although for many of the data bearing upon the history of the gravels and clays he is indebted to the writings of PROF. H. C. LEWIS, who has made a special study of the formation. The geological sketch map of theS tate of Pennsylvania is based upon a similar map prepared to illustrate an article by PROF. J. P. LESLEY for theE ncyclopaedia Britannica. A. H. Philadelphia, May i$th, 1885.
