VI.—On Faults in Strata

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The acute observation of the late Professor J Beete Jukes, combined J with his power of reasoning from Nature, and by Nature's laws, enabled him at once to be capable of explaining the relations of complicated strata, over which others might puzzle for months: neither was he unwilling to. impart his knowledge to others, for nothing seemed to give him greater pleasure than teaching and explaining away difficulties, by pointing out the similarity between the former and present agents at work fashioning the surface of our earth.
