Excerpt from The Age of the Earth and Other Geological Studies If asked unexpectedly for an explanation of this volume, I can conceive myself replying that it is "a fortuitous concourse," but on reflexion it appears to have come together through a natural process of evolution.

To those who have ample leisure [and other concomitant opportunities for such pur suits, there is not a field of greater interest presented to the exertions of the philosopher than some of these geological investigations afford; and few where he can be more harm lessly, or, as regards the promotion of the arts and conveniences of life, perhaps more usefully employed.
