He finds them generally tilted up from the horizontal position in which they were deposited, to a greater or less degree of inclination, and sometimes to a vertical position, so as greatly to facilitate his ex- amination of them. He gives distinctive names to these successive layers, indicative of their mineral character, as gneiss, lime-stone, red sandstone, slate, coal, clay, &c. &c. He observes that the lowest of these sedimentary formations everywhere rests on crystalline rock or granite. A...gain he observes that a large portion of these sedimentary rocks, to the depth of six or seven miles, contains the skeletons and relics of various plants and animals, terrestrial and marine. Now these and the like undisputed and unquestiona- ble facts constitute what he calls, or ought to call, geology. The observation, study, and knowledge of them constitute the science of geology. The facts exist independently of any theory of causation, or of time occupied in effecting them. They existed ages before geology was studied or heard of.
