- W2325172272 abstract "Situated as Glasgow is, in the centre of a district full of interest to the geologist, and drawing much of its wealth and importance from the extensive mineral fields by which it is surrounded, it was to be expected that the science of geology would early attract the attention of many living in the city, as well as of others in the district, who had perhaps even better opportunities for observation and research. Indeed, the wonder is that systematic study of the science should have been so long delayed. Geology, in its practical department, is closely allied to the search for hidden treasure, and Scotchmen are usually credited with being keenly alive to whatever affects their material interests. They may, indeed, be too cautious to put faith in the “Philosopher's Stone,” but they are firm believers in any kind of stone which can be made a marketable commodity. It was not, however, in any mercenary spirit that the founders of “The Glasgow Geological Society” set about their labours. The actuating principle was simply a desire for knowledge—a longing to learn more of the mysterious structure of this wonderful creation on which we live and move; and I think it may be said with all confidence that every member of our Society has found himself amply rewarded by the knowledge he has attained and the pleasure he has derived from the prosecution of his studies. I can, at all events, say so much for myself, and the grateful feelings I entertain This 250-word extract was created in the absence of an abstract" @default.
