Excerpt: . . . higher branches of Physics, but also the knowledge derived from those splendid discoveries which form the admirable sciences of Mineralogy, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, and comparative Anatomy. Furnished with these guides, it penetrates the solid strata of the earth; separates the rocks into their simple elements; and establishes the position, that there was a period when those elements had no combination. Revealing truth more strange than the tales of Arabian fiction, it shows that the fossil coal which burns in our grates once formed the trees and plants of dense and luxu vOl. II. 1 rious forests; and that the valuable mineral which enters so largely into the comforts of civilized society, once existed as ferruginous mud, borne along and deposited by water at the bottom of its various basins, where chemical action consolidated it into iron-stone. It developes the astonishing fact, that large proportions of some of the strata of the earth have been derived from the organic remains of various species and classes of innumerable animals, who lived and died, and were changed into solid rocks, parts of which form the lofty temple, or add beauty to the drawing-room, in the shape of marble ornaments. Thus, equally connected with the highest branches of knowledge and with many of the common comforts of life, Geology presents a field of sublime and exciting study, and opens that volume of nature, whose Author has impressed its language on the everlasting rocks. But notwithstanding the glory and utility of Geology, it is a source of deep regret that so many of its teachers have pursued a course which has established a perpetual warfare between some of its supposed facts and certain historical records found in the Bible. And so far has this spirit. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
