Extract

In this paper the author pointed out that the force, which had protruded granite and other matter among the strata, could not have been the same in point of time with that which broke up the crust of the earth into its present shape; because the matter in veins which we now see exposed to view on the faces of precipices, having been fluid at the time of protrusion, must have run out of the fissures on the rock being raised up.
