  The 
  nature 
  and 
  origin 
  of 
  this 
  vast 
  deposit 
  of 
  clay 
  is 
  a 
  question 
  of 
  the 
  

   very 
  greatest 
  interest 
  ; 
  and 
  although 
  I 
  think 
  there 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  main 
  solved, 
  yet 
  some 
  matters 
  of 
  detail 
  are 
  still 
  involved 
  in
