Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geological Notes of Ireland
To the traveller and the tourist, who have made acquaintance with it in its most initiatory forms, it cannot fail to prove interesting, as recalling to mind, at a single glance of the surrounding scenery through which business or pleasure may lead them, the geological formation of the country through which they pass. The serrated peak, the conical summit, the tabular, stair-like mountain, the precipitous cliff, the undulating plain, all tell their own tale, leading the mind insensibly back to periods and ages of indefinite time, long and long before man existed upon this earth; and to explain all this is my present purpose.
