Geology
Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. "earth" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also refer to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, (such as Mars or the Moon).

Josiah Gilbert Holland, in Rev. S. Pollock Linn Golden Gleams of Thought from the Words of Leading Orators, Divines, Philosophers, Statesmen and Poets, A.C. McClurg & Company, 1881, p. 280.
Geology
Geology is rapidly taking its place as an introduction to the higher history of man. If the author has sought to exalt a favorite science, it has been with the desire that man—in whom geological history had its consummation, the prophecies of the successive ages their fulfilment—might better comprehend his own nobility and the true purpose of his existence.
James D. Dana in: Geology: Treating Of The Principles Of The Science With Special Reference To American Geological History, For The Use Of Colleges, Academies, And Schools Of Science., Theodore Bliss & Co., London: Trubner A Co., 1863, in Preface p. ix.
Geology
All geologic history is full of the beginning and the ends of species–of their first and last days; but it exhibits no genealogies of development.
Hugh Miller in:The testimony of the rocks , Gould and Lincoln, 1865, p. 220.
