Note 5 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Footnote 5: (return) Here is an example of the junction of the granite with the schistus; and probably here will be a proper opportunity of investigating the formation of those two things. Our author here supposes the granite to be the primary, and the schistus to be the secondary body; on the contrary, I believe that schistus to be the primary in relation to the granite, and that the granite had invaded the schistus, as will be made to appear in its proper place.
