PART IV. 

 GEOLOGY OF THE SOUTH-EAST OF ENGLAND. 



Ah, happy hills ! ah, pleasing shade ! 



Ah, fields beloved in vain ! 

 Where once my careless childhood stray'd, 



A stranger yet to pain ! 

 I feel the gales that from ye blow 

 A momentary bliss bestow." GRAY.

QUARRY IN TILGATE FOREST. From the motley crowds of 

 strangers attracted to our overteeming metropolis by the 

 " CRYSTAL PALACE and its wonders," thronging in countless 

 numbers every place of public resort the Gallery of 

 Organic Remains of the British Museum not excepted, 

 I would transport the Courteous Header for a brief space, 

 and conduct him to the verdant hills and refreshing glades of 

 my native county, and forgetting awhile "the noise, the 

 hum, the din of men," visit the quarries, and examine the 

 rocks and strata, whence the fossil remains of the colossal 

 reptiles that will next engage our attention were exhumed.
