Abstract
A notebook by Edward Hitchcock containing analyses of numerous soil samples taken throughout Massachusetts as part of his geological survey of the state. The beginning of the notebook describes one of the tests performed on the soil samples. Most samples are numbered, and have an entry listing their type, collection location, condition, a description of the makeup, and analytical tests performed on the samples with the results. Hitchcock includes some additional notes about the experiments with some of his entries. Several sheets are inserted into the booklet, mostly containing calculations. The final pages include analyses of wines from Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Rhodes, and elsewhere.
