By WILLIAM SMITH, A 
MINERAL SURVEYOR 
AUTHOR OP M MAP OP THE STRATA OF ENGLAND AND WALES,’’ AND “ A TREATISE ON IRRIGATION,’ 7 
Tliis and other useful and interesting branches of the important Science of Geology, 
which is now completely established on the only true principle, an accurate representation of 
localities, are admitted to originate in the various accounts of my discoveries therein, many 
years since freely circulated. The publication of my large Map and Memoir of the Strata 
in England and Wales, has confirmed these accounts, and occasioned numerous enquiries 
for further information on this extensive subject. 
It has, therefore, been thought advisable to select Specimens from my Geological Col- 
lection now fitting up in the British Museum, for the figures of this work, in corroboration 
of the order and courses of British Strata, and the means of identifying them.
