Sida 166 - ... now unknown upon the surface of the earth, presented to his senses almost in the beauty and vigour of their primeval life ; their scaly stems, and bending branches, with their delicate apparatus of foliage, are all spread forth before him, little impaired by the lapse of countless ages, and bearing faithful records of extinct systems of vegetation, which began and terminated in times of which these relics are the infallible historians.
