Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Geology, With an Outline of the Geology of North Carolina: For the Use of the Students of the University
The substance of the following treatise, has been read for some years to the senior class in the University, but this mode of acquiring a knowledge of the science not being satisfactory, the book has been printed for their use, and is as large and full, as in the time allotted to this subject, can be studied with much effect. As the successive les sons are illustrated in the lecture room, by the necessary plates and figures, none of these have been introduced; but as these elements may find a few readers beyond the college walls, a map, exhibiting the position and extent of the different rock formations of North Caro lina has been attached. It is only when the cultivators of this science shall have been greatly multiplied, and there shall be men in all parts of the country prepared to traverse it in every direction, and verify every fact laid down by them, by repeated examinations, that the geology of the State will be minutely and accurately known.
