old hills, and know that they are older than even the Alps and 

 Himalayas, we can feel that the story of English and Welsh 

 Geology may well vie in interest with that of any other part of

 ordinary province ; but those who in their rambles along the 

 country lanes or over the hills of our beautiful island, can decipher 

 some of the Records of the Rocks, will find much material for 

 pleasant meditation in the higher realms of Philosophy.
