of fissures through the crust; and earth- quakes, dykes, craters, and inundations of lava, ensue. These are the agencies em- ployed to act b...eneath the crust for the purpose of disturbing the horizontality of original deposits. After these comes the operation of atmospherical agencies which are so necessary to accomplish the disin- tegration and diffusion of the most ancient strata. Here we behold again the marvel- lous display of an Infinite Wisdom, and trace, with an unmistaking eye, the links of adamant which chain together the begin- ning and the end. The remote past, ex- tending to chaos, and advancing step by step through the palaeozoic, carboniferous, reptilian, and mammiferous ages, opens upon our wondering senses, like an im- mense panorama in which the events are so strange, great, numerous, and complex, as to overwhelm us with their grandeur, and to appear fabulous and incredible.
