Extract

It is not impossible that readers of a paper lately published by our venerated senior geologist may have been startled, some for one reason others for another and opposite. On reading the suggestions he has put forward as to the results from rapid elevations over southern England, some will recoil as at a revival of catastrophic machinery; some on the other hand may hail the invention of anovel and most potent agency. I doubt whether either view is altogether correct or defensible.
