“ Derbyshire is well known as a country which exhibits, in the most 
“ striking manner, the remarkable changes which our globe has suffered. 
“ In every part of it, the most indisputable evidences appear of some great 
“ and extraordinary revolution ; and there is not any place where extraneous 
“ fossils, such as the remains and impressions of vegetables and animals, are 
“ more abundant.”
