Excerpt from The Old Red Sandstone: Or New Walks in an Old FieldIn the autumn of last year I sat down to write a few geological sketches for a newspaper; the accumulated facts of twenty years crowded upon me as I wrote, and the few sketches have expanded into a volume. Permit mo, honoured Sir, to dedicate this volume to you. Its imperfections are doubtless many, for it has been produced under many disadvantages; but it is not the men best qualified to decide regarding it whoso criticisms I fear most; and I am especially desirous to bring it under your notice, as of all geologists the most thoroughly acquainted with those ancient formations which it professes partially to describe. I am, besides, desirous it should be known, - and this, I trust, from other motives than those of vanity, -that, when prosecuting my humble researches in obscurity and solitude, the present President of the Geological Society did not deem it beneath him to evince an interest in the results to which they led, and to encourage and assist the inquirer with his advice. Accept, honoured Sir, my sincere thanks for your kindness.Smith, the father of English Geology, loved to remark that he had been born upon the Oolite, - the formation whoso various deposits ho was the first to distinguish and describe, and from which, as from the meridian lino of the geographer, the geological scale has been graduated on both sides.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

MEMORIALS of the DEATH AND CHARACTER OF HUGH MILLER, with a n ACCOUNT OF HIS FUNERAL OBSEQUIES.Near the end of last autumn the American publishers of Hugh Miller's works received from him, through his Edinburgh publishers, the offer of a new work from his pen. The offer was accepted and a contract was at once elosed. Soon the advance sheets began to come; and as successive portions were received and perused, it became more and more evident that the work was destined not only to extend his fame, but to establish for him new and special claims to the admiration and gratitude of mankind. In the midst of these anticipations, and ere more than half the sheets had been received, the publishers and the public here were startled by the news that Mr. Miller had come to a violent death. The paragraph conveying the intelligence was such as to leave the mind in a state of painful suspense. But the next steamer from Europe brought full details of the lamentable event. It appeared that in a momentary fit of mental aberration he had died by his own hand, on the night of December 23d, 1856. The cause was over much brain-work. He had been long and incessantly engaged in preparing the present work for the press, when, just as he had given the last touches to the eloquent, the immortal record, reason abandoned her throne*, and in the brief interregnum, that great light of science was quenched forever.Table of Contents CONTENTS; Page; Memorials of the Death and Character of Hugh Miller, 7; LECTURE FIRST The Paleontological History of Plants, 33; LECTURE SECOND The Paleontological History of Animals, 88; LECTURE THIRD The Two Records, Mosaic and Geological, i4i; LECTURE FOURTH The Mosaic Vision of Creation, 17U; LECTURE FIFTH Geology in its Bearings on the Two Theologies Part I 211; LECTURE SIXTH Geology in its Bearings on the Two Theologies Tart II, 237; LECTURE SEVENTH The Noachian Deluge Part 12S3; LECTURE EIGHTH Th
