Excerpt from The Founders of Geology In this extension of the subject I have adhered to my original plan of tracing the origin and slow develop ment of geological science, rather in an account of the careers of a few of the chief leaders by whom the progress has been mainly effected, than in an attempt to summarise also the work of their less illustrious contemporaries.
