The Geology of Ascutney Mountain, Vermont

Originally published in 1903, The following pages embody the results of an investigation of the lithology and geology of a plexus of eruptive rocks and the metamorphic aureole in schistose rocks surrounding the igneous bodies. The field work was begun in 1893, but numerous interruptions prevented the completion of the study until the present year. In the meantime an elaborate series of chemical analyses was made by Dr. Hillebrand (in 1896) and the results were published on pages 68-70 of Bulletin 148 of the United States Geological Survey. These analyses are here republished, with the oxides arranged in the order recommended by Dr. H.S. Washington...... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
