GENERAL VIEW

OF THE

GEOLOGY OF SCRIPTURE,

IN WHICH THE UNERRING TRUTH

OF THE

INSPIRED NARRATIVE

OF THE EARLY EVENTS IN THE WORLD IS EXHIBITED, AND DIS-
TINCTLY PROVED, BY THE CORROBORATIVE TESTIMONY OF

PHYSICAL FACTS,

ON EVERY PART OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE.

BY GEORGE FAIRHOLME, Esq.

"

"The great danger of Philosophy is its application-not to things that are, or

may be, but to the speculations for the constructure of things that are not.
"Men of science too often imagine vanities, and support them by plausible argu.
"ments, until, lost in the wonderment of their supposed discoveries, and unable
to apply them to simple truth, their future undertakings and writings avouch
"the scepticism of their bewildered minds."
