J. Cole is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an introductory text intended for non-specialists in geology, aiming to explore the fundamental aspects of rocks and their formation. It delves into various types of rocks, including limestones, sandstones, and slates, shedding light on their origins and importance within the Earth's crust. The opening of the book establishes its aim to connect geology with natural history, emphasizing the relevance of understanding rocks for both general readers and travelers. Cole discusses the shift in geology from a focus on classification to an appreciation of the processes that shape the landscape. The text highlights the relationships between different rock types and the geological history they represent. Additionally, it introduces the significance of field research, advancing our understanding of rock formation beyond mere laboratory analysis.
