This book presents a detailed account of the geology and mineralogy of the state of Maryland, placing particular emphasis on the practical applications of these resources. The author was tasked with investigating the state's mineral resources and their potential contribution to agriculture. The author provides a sketch of the geological features of Maryland, following in the inverse order of the relative ages of the formations up to the most recent, which is the post tertiary. An examination of the book's contents reveal chapters on minerals, rocks, soils, and the constituents of plants before diving into topics such as soil improvement, manures, and observations on the current state of agriculture in Maryland. Useful to both farmers and geologists, the book serves as a foundation for further and more detailed investigation of Maryland's geology and mineral resources.
