Excerpt from The Internal Structure of Fossil Vegetables Found in the Carboniferous and Oolitic Deposits of Great Britain, Described and Illustrated

It is by the recently discovered method of cutting and polishing the stems of fossil plants, that we are enabled to obtain an insight into their structure. I had the pleasure, some years ago, of recommending this method to the York and Newcastle Philosophical and Natural History Societies. It was afterwards fully described in my Observations on Fossil Vegetables; and, in the present work, a detailed account of it will be found in the Appendix.
