Book excerpt: Excerpt from Succinct Account of the Lime Rocks of Plymouth: Being the Substance of Several Communications, Read Before the Members of the Geological Society, in London, and Partly Printed in Their Transaction; With Ten Lithographic Plates, of Some of the Most Remarkable of the Animal Remains Found in Them When a Book is sent into the world, of whatever sort it may be, or however trivial, it is usual to solicit a favourable reception for it, from those, for whose perusal it is intended. To the common motives for such an appeal, I feel, that I have many additional reasons to induce me to request this indulgence from the Public, in behalf of the following pages. For, professing myself but little acquainted with Geology, as a study, and remote from those sources from whence such knowledge might be obtained, I have ventured on the subject; having been invited, as it were, by the circumstances around me: at a time when there are no books of established authority, and sufficiently explanatory, within my reach, to assist me in giving names to, or, in classing the numerous varieties of Organic Remains, which 1 have collected in this neighbourhood.
