Extract

Considerable difficulty has been felt in accounting for the transport of the Wastdale Granite Boulders across the Pennine chain to the east. Professors Harkness and Phillips, Messrs. Searles Wood, jun., Mackintosh, and I presume all who have written on the subject, agree that these blocks could not have been transported by land-ice. The agency of floating ice under some form or other is assumed by them all.
