Extract

It is one of the most fascinating of the recreations of a geologist to attempt to reconstruct the physical features of some past period; and though our essays in this direction have not been attended with complete success, and our maps of early epochs bear a striking resemblance to those of Herodotus and Ptolemy, yet thesemaps have their value and they are at least steps towards one of the goals of the science of geology.
