DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Guide to the Giants Causeway: And the North-East Coast of the County of Antrim The natural history of the County of Antrim has engaged the attention of the most sagacious philosophers of Europe for the last century, and even to this very hour is a subject of deep and violent controversy. The basaltic area which exists here, is the most spacious yet known; and the articulation of the columnar basalt, forming the natural pier called the Causeway, is much the most perfect specimen of this description of basaltes ever discovered, notwithstanding the assertion of the learned Sir Joseph Banks, that She columns of Fingal's Cave, in Staffa, were more so. The early attempts to explain the nature and formation of the basaltes in the north of Ireland, are matter of ridicule for the savans of this age; even the account contained in Boate's Natural History, written by the learned Dr. Molyneaux. The mo interesting, intelligent, and able work published upon this subject, and which gave an impulse to all the naturalists in Europe, was a volume intituled, "Letters upon the Coast of Antrim," by Dr. Hamilton. Here the celebrated theories of the igneous and aqueous formation are canvassed, and the fiery element appears to preponderate.
