" All tilings iu nature are engaged in writing tlieir own history. The planet and the pthble are attended by their 

 shadows — the rolling rock leaves its farrows on the mountain side — the river its channel in the soil— the animal its 

 bones in the stratum— the fern and the leaf inscribe their modest epitaphs on the coal— the fiilling drop sculptures 

 its story on the sand, or on the stone — not a footstep on the snow or on the ground but traces iu characters 

 more or less enduring the record of its progress." — Fmersofi.
