"The Lake exhibits much the same appearance as far as Landing, near which Mr Harrison has made some improvements: In this place, and within half a mile, the soil is not above a yard thick, under which is fine small sand, without the smallest mixture of vegetative earth. This sand the inhabitants use for all purposes of river sand, mixing their lime, and covering the roads with it. I cannot imagine, (unless we suppose the Lake to have been larger formerly than at present) how this sand could come here; no flood, (the deluge excepted) could rise so high; and as the same strata are found on both sides of the water, we must conclude that the cause, be what it will, must have been very extensive." |
