Mr. 11 . Spilth's Discoveries in Geology. 



[The following statement was communicated in the month of 

 March to the Editors, by Mr. Farey, and has since been authen- 

 ticated by a letter received from Mr. Smith himself. Much 

 discussion has of late arisen concerning the discoveries of 

 Mr. Smith, relative to the mineral structure of England, a 

 great part of which, as appears to us, might have been spared, 

 if Mr. Smith or Mr. Farey, who appears to be the acknow- 

 ledged expositor of his friend's system, had published, at 

 an earlier period, the present summary. We most gladly 

 insert it in our pages, although it has since appeared in a 

 contemporary journal, having only taken the liberty of compress- 

 ing the references, and of leaving out a few paragraphs in the 

 notes, and one in the text, which appeared to relate rather to 

 other persons than to Mr. Smith. The references being all of them 

 to papers by Mr. Farey inserted in the Philosophical Magazine, 

 &c. we have not thought it necessary to repeat on every occasion 

 the name of this gentleman. — Ed.]
