![List of Mr. Maclure's Published Works and Memoirs. The following list embraces the separate works (two in number) and miscellaneous papers written by Mr. Maclure during his residence in the United States. It is not presumed that the list is complete . for it is more than probable that he contributed some- thing to the periodical journals of England, France^ Spain, and perhaps Mexico, whilst resident in those countries. A reference to the following Essays will show how exclusively Mr. Maclure's mind was devoted to mat- ters of fact, seldom indulging in hypothesis, and never yielding himself, at least in his writings, to purely imaginative reflections. 1. Observations on the Geology of the United States of America, with some Remarks on the Nature and Fer- tility of Soils, &c. Svo. Philad. 1817. This is a cor- rected reprint from the Trans, of the Amer. Philos. Soc. 2. Opinions on Various Subjects, 2 vols. 8vo. This work is epistolary, and was chiefly written in Mexico. It embraces reflections on many subjects, but is mainly devoted to Political Economy. Memoirs in the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: 1. Observations on the [Geology of the] West India Islands, from Barbadoes to Santa Cruz, inclusive. Vol. I, p. 134.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2114252x_0034.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
