Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Geological Society of Dublin, 1838, Vol. 1 Gentlemen - In attempting to address you at this, which is the first General Meeting Of the Dublin Geological Society, I feel that the task would have been much better executed by any one of the many individuals around me, whose successful pursuit of the study Of Geology would have given more weight to his opi nions and recommendations, than I can hope will be attached to any thing I can offer. Indeed, it is a task which I should have declined, were it not one that belongs to the situation in which your kindness has placed me. Something, therefore, must be attempted; and I know not how to discharge my duty better than by advertin g to the benefits which have already resulted, and which may be expected, in still greater abun dance, to result from the attention bestowed on this depart ment of physical enquiry, and by pointing out the characteris tic, and therefore the most attractive features of the country, which we have more especially chosen as the field of our la hours.
