To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have all read of the enormous dislocations and inversions of the strata of the Alps ; and similar phenomena are said to exist in the Andes. Will it be believed, that we have an example in the United States on a still more magnificent scale than any yet described ? I have mentioned in another connection, a series of strata, consisting of gneiss, mica, talcose, and argillaceous slates, with limestones and Silurian rocks, extending from Canada, along the western side of New England and the east...ern side of New York, to the Highlands on Hudson river, and thence southwes- terly through the Appalachian mountains as far as Alabama; a distance of at least twelve hundred miles. Along a large part of this distance, a remarkable apparent inversion of the dip exhibits itself; so that the newer rocks appear to pass beneath the older ones ; and that too over a great width of surface. Certainly this is the case from Canada to New Jersey, and thence through Pennsylvania and Virginia, I infer from the reports of the Profes- sors Rogers, that similar phenomena occur, which these gentle- men have been studying with great care and success; and the results, I learn, will soon be given to the public.
