The almost incomprehensible age of the Earth was famously summarized thus:

“The reſult, therefore, of our preſent enquiry is, that we find no veſtige of a beginning,–no proſpect of an end.”

— Theory of the Earth, James Hutton, 1788

On a ſide note, we ſhould bring back the long S.

[teddyh]

Yea, and alſo þe þorn! More seriously; it’s a text from 1788 – I’d think I was allowed to keep its spelling and not translate or transliterate when I’m actually quoting it verbatim.

[evincarofautumn]

It’s fine, I understood what you were up to. In earnest, though, I’d rather see thorn and eth come back than long S.

yes, that was annoying
