The medical man will 23 acquire more enlarged, and more correct views of the influence of localities upon diseases, if he comprehends those geological idiosyncracies on which the configura- tion of the surface depends. Military men will be the better able to fortify their positions, and to comprehend the natural defences of a country, by acquainting them- selves with its geological structure. The artist will view with additional delight, the picturesque features of the landscape, if he understa...nds the geological agencies of which that landscape is the result. The agriculturist will be more likely to derive profit from his draining and manuring, by an acquaintance with the composition, the inclination, and the superposition of the strata which underlie his fields. The politician and statistician must be informed as to the geological structure of a country, before they can explain or remedy many anomalies in the wealth, the industry, the morality, and other social phenomena of particular districts.
