Preliminary Geological Map of Connecticut (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Preliminary Geological Map of Connecticut The small scale used for the Preliminary Geological Map, Of Connecticut makes it impracticable to represent all the rock groups, and to give credit on the map itself to the indi viduals and organizations whose assistance has made the map possible. The following pages have therefore been written to make the map more intelligible, and to explain its method of compilation, its value, and its deficiencies. This Bulletin has also been thought to be a suitable place to present a brief account Of the history Of geologic work in Connecticut. The imperfection Of the map here with presented is manifest, and the authors will be thankful for any information which will tend to make the knowledge Of Connecticut geology more complete and more accessible.

Book Description

Excerpt from A Sketch of the Geology, Mineralogy and Topography of the Connecticut In constructing this map I have derived very great assis tance in the vicinity of new-haven, from the researches of Professor Silliman, and of Dr. Percival. Indeed, could either of these gentlemen have been induced to form a map of that region, I should gladly have omitted the southern part. In the northern part of the map, I have been assist ed by Dr. J. A. Allen, Lecturer on Chemistry in Middle bury College, and by Rev. J. Andrews, of Putney. Dr. E. Emmons, of Chester, has also communicated facts of importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Report on the Geology of the State of Connecticut (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Report on the Geology of the State of Connecticut Lar enumeration. I should do injustice to my own feelings, if I did not here notice the uniform and attentive hospitality of the people of the State, during my explorations. I can truly say with a distinguished individual, lately employed in the survey of an adjoining State, that this intercourse with my fellow-citizens has greatly exalted my opinion of their' kind ness, intelligence, and happy condition, and much increased my attachment to my native State. I only regret that I have not been enabled to give them in return fuller and more ample results; but such as it is, I submit to them my report, con scious that I have done the best that circumstances allowed me.
