Scope and Contents

Thanks for reference for Livesey, candidate for an Assistant Curator's post in the Department of Minerals, British Museum; he has not seen the work alluded to; he would soon be out of his depth 'in the wider sea of Geology'; 'Such inquiries, when arguments are based upon them, will be found to lead to very uncertain, if not dangerous, conclusions.'
