A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This Report, and theM ap which accompanies it, embody the principal reaulte of the geological surveys and researches made by myself inT ennessee, at intervals during the last twenty years. For six years of this period I acted under the authority of theS tate. For the remainder of the time, the surveys made, were on mypersonal acconnt, and their results, in so far as they are here embraced, are a gratuitous contribution to the Geology ofT ennessee. What is presented in this volume is, with its merits and defects, essentially my own. The main part has been worked out laboriously in the field; and ths without assiatants, and with inadequate means. These circumstances constitute the only apology I otfer for deficienecs. The whole work has involved little, if any, less than 10,000 miles of travel. .T he results of the labors of others, and especially, of my venerable predecessor. Dr. Troost, when available, have been freely used, and the proper credit given. To a number of my scientific cotemporaries, I am much indebted; their names are given in the course of the Report, and my obligations acknowledged. To many friends in thoS tate, I am also indebted for encouragement and assistance. To Col. S. D. Morgan, Dr. John B. Lindaley, of Nashville, Hon. Sam, Milligan, formerly of Greenevillc, now of Washington, and Col. Wm. Bosson, of Murfrcesboro ,I am under especial obligations. These gentlemen, ever ready to advance any scientific investigation which, in their opinion, might redound to the interests of theS tate, deserve prominent niches as patrons of science inT ennessee. The Report does not claim to be a complete presentation of the Geology of theS tate; it is rather an introduction to such a presentation, and, so far as it goes, will, I trust, be acceptable.
