assert the stratification of the Charnwood Slate,

1. 21, same kind of Limestonet.—t In a large pro- 
portion of the cases, in which Mr. B. and myself 
are found differing in opinion, the cause thereof 
may he traced, to that very erroneous and dan- 
gerous dogma of the Anglo-Wernerian Theorists, 
viz. that the kind of stone or mineralogical cha- 
racters of a substance, will, by help of ‘¢ the 
Geognosy,’’ determine its priority of formation 
to others, &c.; or in plainer terms, will fix its 
place in the series of strata; but which Smithian 
observers, well know to be untrue. 
Whenever J mention herein, the opinions of 
that very able Mineralogist, M. Werner, or the 
Wernerian doctrines, I wish always to be under- 
stood, as speaking of what his disciples have pro- 
mulgated or published, as his doctrines, in this 
country; except, as far as they can be gathered from 
a very vain and unphilosophical performance (see 
Mr. B’s Note, page 229) written in 1791, under 
the title of #* The new Theory of the Formation of 
Veins,”’ by M. Werner, and which was translated 
into English in 1809:—when his many Zealous 
Disciples can give us other English translations, 
perhaps it will be more generally seen, than at 
present, that his ¢* admiring pupils” have greatly 
over-rated the talents, of this ‘* greatest of Geo- 
gnosts.” 
93,1. 1, and Westmorland *.—* The Limestones of 
Westmorland and Laneashire, appeared to me, to 
have no similarity to those of the Peak of Derby- 
shire, as mentioned in my Ist Letter (p. 59), see 
P. M. xxxix. p. 427, and vol. xl. p. 53.
