William Crawford Williamson Quotes

One Of The Grandest Figures That Ever Frequented Eastern Yorkshire Was William Smith, The Distinguished Father Of English Geology. My Boyish Reminiscence Of The Old Engineer, As He Sketched A Triangle On The Flags Of Our Yard, And Taught Me How To Measure It, Is Very Vivid. The Drab Knee-breeches And Grey Worsted Stockings, The Deep Waistcoat, With Its Pockets Well Furnished With Snuff-of Which Ample Quantities Continually Disappeared Within The Finely Chiselled Nostril-and The Dark Coat With Its Rounded Outline And Somewhat Quakerish Cut, Are All Clearly Present To My Memory.
