Excerpt from Geology and Mineralogy, Vol. 2: Considered With Reference to Natural Theology
Assuming that Fire and Water have been the two great Agents employed in reducing the surface of the globe to its actual condition, we see, in repeated operations of these agents, causes adequate to the production of those irregular Elevations and Depressions of the fundamental Rocks of the Granitic series, which are delineated in the lower Region of our Section, as forming the basis of the entire Superstructure of stratified Rocks.
Near the right extremity of this Section, the undulating surface of the fundamental Granite (a. 5. A. 6. A. 7. A. Is represented as being, for the most part, beneath the level of the Sea.
On the left extremity of the Section (a. L. A. 2. A. The Granite is elevated into one of those lofty Alpine ridges, which have affected, by their upward movement, the entire series of stratified Rocks.
