Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address on the Propriety of Continuing the State Geological Survey of California: Delivered Before the Legislature at Sacramento, Thursday Evening, January 30th, 1868
The next year, having the honor of addressing the Legislature without being especially called on by that body to select any particular subject, I endeavored to give some idea of the nature of geological inquiries, in their broadest and most generally attractive direction, and to awaken an interest in our work by setting forth some of the most interesting results at which geologists have arrived during thefew years just past, and in various parts of the world, making my lecture a sort of spelling book and dictionary of our future reports but not letting go my hold on my audience until, as in duty bound, I had said a few words in regard to the advantages to be derived from a thorough prosecution of the work on which we had then fully entered.
