Excerpt from Man and His Handiwork
Ome half -century before these pages were k written, the science of Geology was in its infancy, and those who studied it were either avoided as atheists or ridiculed as fools.
The late Dr. Buckland, to whom Geology is so much indebted, succeeded in showing that the charge of atheism was absurd, and that the folly was on the part of those who refused to believe facts that had been proved beyond any possibility of contradiction. He did not, however, escape an occasional sly shaft on the part of his contemporaries who were skilful with pen and pencil, and many were the witty epi grams and caricatures that took Dr. Buckland as their theme.
