To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The relics of this action still remain strongly impressed on the country, to attest its former power. * It might be unsafe to form this conclusion merely "by an examination of such a small tract of country as the British islands, but when we consider the great Scandinavian chain, and the northern half of Europe generally, we find that similar phenomena are common over the whole of that area, and in the North American continent, as far south as latitude 38 or 40, when the soil, or the superficia...l covering of what is called drift, is removed, we discover over large areas that the solid rock is smoothed and polished, and covered with grooves and striations similar to those of which we have experience among the glaciers of the Alps. I do not speak merely by common report in this matter, for I know it from personal observation, both in the Old World and the New. We know of no power on earth, of a natural kind, which produces these indications except moving ice, and therefore * I need scarcely say that the same kind of phenomena are equally striking in Ireland.
