... Society contains an interesting and valuable paper by Don JOAQUIN EZQUERRA DEL BAYO, on the Geology of Spain. The Geological constitution of the country is stated to consist of three principal divisions—the Crystalline, Transition, and Secondary formations. The gneiss rocks of the first division occupy about a fifth of the surface of the soil, extending longitudinally from north to south. The plutonic rocks which penetrate them are generally granite of various degrees of firmness. The most important of the granitic ramifications to the east passes by the Sierra de Gridos, Sierra ...

This first edition is imperfect, breaking off in the middle of the third book. The division into chapters and the arrangement of the verse was the work of the 'ouer-seer of the print'.
