Mr. Farey’s Notes on Mr. Bakewell’s Geology. 337 
[P.305] Basaltic strata, or the volcanic substances, near to Bath 
andBristol ?: whose Springs seem to me to rise, from some 
certain stratum in or near the Lias Limestone; as a line of 
Mineral Springs also do, at Cheltenham, (and several places 
in its neighbourhood, P. M. xxxii. p. 59), Lemington-Priors, 
Kings Newnham (Warwick. Rep. p. 28), and other places, 
across the greater part of England. 
1. 10, situation of the warm springs+.—t These in Der- 
byshire, rise by the sides of the great Faults, see Rep. i. 503, 
5U4, 505, and my Notes on p. 226 and 3504. 
306, 1. 20, that clearly indicate*.—* Hot springs, and strongly 
mineralized ones, more clearly indicate the existence of 
Faults, and the chemical and perhaps the Voltaic action of 
strata. on each other, than point out dormant Volcanoes, 
see my Notes on p. 226 and 304, 
309, 1. 20, never will be accomplished*.—* Why not ?—If 
Mr. B. could have found as many materials prepared to his 
hands, respecting several other English Counties, as he has 
with respect to one, he might have given us a work, far 
more distinguished by variety, and truth of representation. 
I. 25, is what ignorance and chance +.—+ Did these alone, 
produce the ‘* Mineralogia Cornubiensis” of W. Pryce, 
“ Biitish Mineralogy,” by J. Sowerby, “* The Mineralogy of ' 
. Derbyshire,” by J. Mawe, &c, &c.? or did they (ignorance 
and chance) set on foot, the Surveys of Dumfriesshire, Shrop- 
shire and Derbyshire? To say nothing of Mr. Smith.—In 
an. Advertisement, such assertions as these may pass current, 
but ought to have heen more cautiously introduced into an 
elementary work on the Science. 
310, 1. 10 and 11, the year 1804*.—* This circumstance, so 
perpetually referred to by Mr. B. in his writings, happens 
to be rather mcorrect, see my Note on p. 221. 
511, 1. 24, resemblance to the Welsh limestone*.—* The 
pozolanic quality of the Blwe Lias, near Bath in particular, 
(where the name originated) has been well known for ages, 
and particularly so since 1791, when Mr. Smeaton made it 
so extensively known, by his publication on the Eddystone 
Light-House, and since 1794 or 5, when Mr. Smith began 
to exhibit at Mitford and Bath, &c. his Maps showing the 
range across England of this very important stratum, see 
Rep. i. 114, and P. M, xxxvi. p. 105; its use in Coal- 
mines, | have mentioned, Rep. i. 327. 
314, 1. 1 and 2, its effects on a large scale *,—* Rep. i. 153.
