DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Report on a Re-Examination: Of the Economical Geology of Massachusetts Sir, - The commission with which I was honored, to make a further Geological and Mineralogical survey of the State, was not received in season to enable me to enter upon the work till towards the conclusion of the last summer. From that time to the present, I have devoted myself to it almost without cessation. I was directed to give special attention to five leading objects. The first was the collection and analysis of our soils, with a view to their improvement on chemical principles. The second was the discovery of coal, marl, and ores. The third was a re-examination of some of the rock formations, so as to determine more accurately their limits, that they may be colored on the new Geographical Map of the State. The fourth was to make further investigations into our scientific geology, both with a view to advance the science, and to make a practical application of any new discoveries that might be made. The fifth was the procuring of new specimens of our rocks and minerals for the State collection. It was obvious at once, that it would be impossible to accomplish all these objects in one season. Indeed, in regard to the third object, which in the commencement of the geological survey was regarded as the main one, want of time was not the greatest obstacle. For it never can be effected until the geologist can obtain at least an outline map, far more accurate than any that now exists, except of one or two counties in the vicinity of Boston.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts, Vol. 1: Containing I. Economical Geology, II. Scenographical Geology Nor would I forget my indebtedness to the other branches of the Government for the liberal patronage and support which they have bestowed upon this enterprise. Let me here, also, testify to the universal disposition which I have found manifested in every part of the Commonwealth, to forward the objects of the survey. For ten years, - I might in truth say twenty, - I have Spent a principal portion of my time in wandering over the State. I have climbed all her mountains. I have penetrated her most sequestered valleys and glens. In short, I have traveled within her boundaries not less than miles; not with rail road speed, but rather with a geological, which is nearly synonomous with a pedestrian pace: yet have I everywhere met with a hospitality that has supplied all my wants, and with intelligence enough to understand and appreciate, and a disposition to forward, the objects of my commission. These circumstances have given a deep interest to my geological excursions, and make the retrospect of them among the happiest recollections of my life while they have greatly exalted my opin ion of the kindness, intelligence, and happy condition of our population, and increased my attach ment to my native State.

Geological Survey, 1885-1897 The following report on the geology of Martha's Vineyard is one of three separate studies which I have devoted to the interesting field of southeastern Massachusetts; the second, that on Nantucket, it is hoped may be soon issued; and the third, on Cape Cod and the Elizabeth Islands, is now in preparation. The special aim of these reports is to furnish a basis for the geological history of this part of the shore line of North America.
