Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geology: Its Influence on Modern Beliefs, Being a Popular Sketch of Its Scientific Teachings and Economic Bearings
To indicate the scientific and economic bearings of this science is the object of the present lectures. I say indicate, for little more than a mere indication of such a subject can be given in a couple of evenings, and for this purpose I shall endeavour to be as plain, precise, and methodical as the matter will permit. Without such a course, much of my lecturing would be useless, and your time in a great measure wasted. I would rather that some of my audience should say, We knew all this before, than that any should go away without a satisfactory understanding of the facts I have to communicate.
