Excerpt from The Two Records: The Mosaic and the Geological; A Lecture Delivered Before the Young Men's Christian Association, in Exeter Hall, London
It is now exactly fifty years since a clergyman of the Scottish Church, engaged in lecturing at St. Andrews, took occasion, in enumerating the various earths of the chemist, to allude to the science, then in its infancy, that specially deals with the rocks and soils which these earths compose. "There is a prejudice," he remarked, against the speculations of the geologist which I am anxious to remove. It has been said that they nurture infidel propensities.
