Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Report on the Geology of the State of Maine, 1838 Few subjects have, for many years, more strongly excited public attention, than the Science of Geology; and we may justly attribute this general interest to the improved condition of the science, and its numerous applications to useful purposes. Formerly, rude conjectures, imaginary hypotheses, and vague theories, which naturally arose from an imperfect knowledge of the subject, owing to the imperfections of the collateral branch es of Natural History, caused many intelligent persons to con sider the whole science as uncertain and chimerical. This state of things has, however, been succeeded by more sound and perfect knowledge, and no longer is Geology reproached with being merely visionary and speculative. It has now assumed the rank of an accurate and certain science, adapted to the physical and intellectual wants of an enlightened community - revealing to us the situations in which are found our valuable metallic ores, quarries of building. Mate rials, beds of limestone, and a thousand other articles of daily use. It traces out the precise situation in which we may ex pect to find fossil coal, and gives us a knowledge of the means of making rational explorations for that valuable combustible. Soils being mainly composed of the detritus of rocks, and those materials having been spread out on the surface of the globe, in conformity to regular geological laws, a just knowledge of their mineral components, and their order of distribution, serves to direct the farmer in the selection of his farm, and the cultivation of the earth. It would be easy to trace out many other good results, which are attainable by this science, but so general has now become a knowledge of the subject, that it will be unnecessary for me to enter into minute details.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report Upon the Natural History and Geology of the State of Maine, 1862 The Geological party spent the last of J une and the whole of J uly in exploring the country near Penobscot Bay, and measuring a section from Eden to the Canada line in Somerset county. Then they spent more than a month in examining the country watered by the Schoodic Lakes and the St. Croix river, besides an important exploration of the iron ore and fossiliferous limestone of northern Aroostook county. The last work of the season was the explora tion of the large lakes in Franklin and Oxford counties. We propose to divide this report into three parts. Part I will embrace the observations that have been made in Natural History during the past year, in all the departments of Zoology and Botany. Part II will treat of whatever may have been learned respecting the rocks and fossils of the State since the publication of the Pre liminary Report; while Part III will be devoted to the chemical portion of the general report. We shall not address your Honor able Assembly with each special report, but with this introduction present the several fragments in the most natural order possible. We have found it very difficult to devise an unexceptionable mode of presenting our materials, owing to their fragmentary character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report on the Geology of the Public Lands: Belonging to the Two States of Maine and Massachusetts In order to form a comprehensive idea of the Geological Structure of the Public Lands in Maine, it is necessary to consider some of the results to which we have arrived, in examining other portions of the State, so far as to determine the relative positions and ages of the various great rock formations, which present themselves to view, while we apply the general principles of geological science to their elucidation. In making our explorations of the State, we have endeavored to record with strict accuracy, every observation which we were able to make while on the spot where the phenomena presented themselves, and specimens of all the rocks have been collected by us, and were invariably labelled immediately after they were obtained, so that they are faithful indications of the true geology of the country. In addition to our more especial geological duties, we have endeavored to give a portion of our attention to the interesting topographical features of the State, and have measured the altitude of many remarkable eminences and table lands, so that we might be enabled to present sectional view of the relief of the country. At the same time, I have laid down with care, the various rock formations, which I have represented in colors upon the best maps of the State that could be procured.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Report on the Geology of the State of Maine The principles of, agriculture are at present exceedingly loose and uncertain, and it is on this account that I beg leave to offer the above remarks, requesting each farmer, who has the means of making researches, to experiment-rationally in the amelioration of unfertile soils. No one respects more highly than I do this department of human art, and those who are laboring to advance a knowledge of its principles.
