Excerpt from The Geological History of the Rivers of East Yorkshire: Being the Sedgwick Prize Essay, for the Year 1900

East Yorkshire appeared to the author of the following Essay to offer an exceptionally favourable field for such a study: firstly, on account of the variety of its geological formations with important lithological differences secondly, on account of its peculiar tectonic characters and thirdly, on account of the abundant development of streams and rivers on its surface.

The minute knowledge which we possess of its stratigraphy and geological history was recognised as providing special facilities for such research.

The author is indebted to the writings of many geologists for the account of the stratigraphy and structure of the district.
