Excerpt from Geological Travels, Vol. 2 of 3: Travels in England, Translated From the French Manuscript Ifwe with examining the coasts of om own island, we shall find clear evidence every ¿aw, that the sea once reached higher up upon the land than it does at present. The marks of an ancient sea-beach are to be seen beyond the present limits of the tide, and beds of sea-shells, not mineralized, are found in the loose earth or soil, sometimes as high as thirty feet above the present level of the sea. Some of these on the shores of the Frith qartk are very well known, and have been often mentioned. Indeed, on the shores of that frith many monuments appear.
