Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology of Rutland and the Parts of Lincoln, Leicester, Northampton, Huntingdon, and Cambridge: Included in Sheet 64 of the One-Inch Map of the Geological Survey, With an Introductory Essay on the Classification and Correlation of the Jurassic Rocks of the Midland District of England While the mapping of the district was in progress, the geology of which forms the subject of this Memoir, I had several opportunities of verifying the accuracy and skill with which Mr, Judd traced the geological boundary, lines, and the truly scientific manner in which he formed those deductions, the result of which has been expressed in a new classification of some of the formations comprised in the area. I may add that the circumstances which led to the resignation by Mr. Judd of his post on the Geological Survey have always been matter of deep regret to me, for it is not often that men are to be found who possess that rare combination of knowledge on so many special branches of geological inquiry which characterises the author of this memoir. I also feel that we are deeply indebted to Mr. Judd for having so frankly consented,-after he had left the Survey, to make his work complete by the gratuitous preparation of a memoir which he was in nowise bound to write. That this important work has been thoroughly well done all geologists will allow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
