Overview

Excerpt from An Elementary Geology: Designed Especially for the Interior States The distinctive feature of the following work is its limitations. It is designed for students and readers of the Interior States, and, consequently, for such has its chief references to home geology. The simplicity and regularity of the geological formations in these states render them singularly fitted to be illustrations of the science; and, moreover, the formations are rich in fossils beyond those of most other parts of the world. By thus limiting the scope of the work, it is believed that a much better book for beginners may be made than if far more were attempted. No work, however large, can fully set forth a science to which, for the last forty or fifty years, contributions have been made by hundreds of earnest workers in the Old World and the New. The problem has been to give enough, and that clearly, and not too much. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
