Excerpt from The Geology of the Warwickshire Coalfield and the Permian Rocks and Trias of the Surrounding District
The following Sketch of the Geology of the Warwickshire Coal-field and the surrounding district will be found, I trust, to be of use to the proprietors of the district, not only as developing the mineral resources actually in work, but specially in indicating the probable range and extent of the Coal-formation beneath the red deposits, whether they be of the age of the Permian rocks or New Red Sandstone.
The district to which the following Memoir refers was surveyed by Mr. Howell and myself between the years 1851 and 1854, during the life of Sir Henry De la Beche, the late Director-General. The map of the Coal-field and all the sections are by Mr. Howell, and I only occasionally assisted in tracing its boundary faults, and in mapping parts of the surrounding Formations. I also first determined the true age of the Permian rocks of this area, and helped, when the other duties of the survey would permit, to map these strata, and a considerable part of the New Red Sandstone and Marl. The whole, as usual, was superintended by myself.
