Excerpt from An Address on the Propriety of Continuing the State Geological Survey of California: Delivered Before the Legislature, at Sacramento, Thursday Evening, January 30th, 1868
What, then, is the object of the Geological Survey, and for what purpose has it been instituted? This question I will endeavor to answer, and I will then show, as far as possible, within the limitations imposed on me by time and place, how much progress has been made in it and finally, will give some reasons why, as I think, the work should be continued to completion, and that on the scale and with the plan on which it was started, and on which it has thus far been carried on.
