Mary-
I would like that very much. Reading the "New Jersey Geolological Report for
1860" has been just oh-so-stimulating, but I'm in the mood for something
different.

(The quarries here were brownstone quarries, 4 or 5 of them, all lining the
Delaware and Raritan Canal. I know that the industry flourished here for many
years following the opening of the canal: I assume because the transport
became so economical. It is widely assumed that this was the material used at
Princeton University for many of their stone buildings, but I have no
evidence of this.)
