Extract

When we consider the growth of geological knowledge in our own country, we soon learn how very detailed must be the character of all new work compared with that performed by the great pioneers in the science. Much that has now to be done may be called the microscopic work, labour that is often uninteresting and dry, except to the individual himself, but which nevertheless is most useful and necessary.
