 lous endeavours to promote the geology of their country. Inti- 

 mately persuaded that the agricultural and mineral resources of 

 Scotland would be improved by an increased knowledge of its 

 subsoil and rocks, the Highland Society had advanced premiums 

 for the completion of a geological map of Scotland, and had 

 exerted themselves to obtain possession, through His Majesty's 

 Government, of the valuable unpublished documents of Dr. Mac- 

 Culloch, which, without these spirited efforts, might long have 

 lain dormant.
