Excerpt from Applied Geology, Vol. 1
Circumstances have made it necessary to publish the earlier chapters of this work separately, while the later portion is still appearing in the pages of the Quarry.
To those who may read the following pages I would, therefore, point out that these preliminary chapters scarcely give an adequate idea of the scope of the completed work.
The scarcity of books dealing with the practical side of geology has been long felt; but it will be for others to judge how far this attempt to supply that want may have been successful. My difficulty throughout has been an attempt to combine as much geology as the practical man should know with as much practical detail as should interest the geologist.
I lay no claim to any originality, and have freely used all available sources of information as to the facts recorded in this volume. A more complete acknowledgment of these sources will be published at the conclusion of the work.
