Excerpt from The Elements the Geology of Tennessee Prepared for the Use of the Schools of Tennessee, and for All Persons Seeking a Knowledge of the Resources of the State This work on the elementary geology of Tennessee was prepared for the use of schools as well as for the use of all persons interested in the study of the resources of the State. The predominant idea in its preparation was to give to the young people of the State some knowledge of the great commonwealth in which they live, and further to enable them to impart to others Some idea of its vast and varied resources, its beautiful landscapes, its grand rivers, and its lovely climate. Such knowledge will be of the utmost value to all citizens, whether young or old, and will not only be useful from an economical point of view, but it will be a source of perpetual pleasure throughout their lives. Students in the lower grades, and those in the common schools who do not intend to take a high school or collegiate course, should study Parts I. and IV. only. Advanced students may study the whole book, with profit. The authors desire to express their grateful acknowledgments to Maj. H. C. Bate, the local forecast official and section director of the weather bureau at Nashville, for contributing the larger portion of the chapter on the "Climate of Tennessee," which is full of interesting and useful data. Having spent a large portion of their lives in the study of the geology and resources of Tennessee, the authors hope that the work herewith presented may meet the approval of the teachers of the State.
