Mr. Forbes, however, had followed up investigations of a combined character with respect to the metamorphic rocks of Norway, and he had endeavoured to ascertain what changes could be effected by using intensely heated iron furnaces. These experiments had led to the discussion of this subject. Mr. Brayley then proceeded to point out the nature of metamorphic rocks, in which we recognise the joint action of fire and water. He then referred to the quarries of Carrara marble in Italy, which have been worked between 2,000 and 3,000 years. This marble was pure carbonate of lime, and if burnt well it would become quick lime resembling loaf sugar. In one respect this marble resembled the crystalline rocks, such as granite, as it contained no indications of organic remains, as all sedimentary deposits do. From this circumstance it was supposed that it was a primary formation; but subsequent investigations have changed the views of geologists on this subject. It had been ascertained ..." @default.
