The ruins of an older world are visible in the present structure of our
planet, and the strata which now compose our continents have been
once beneath the sea, and were formed out of the waste of pre-existing
continents. The same forces are still destroying, by chemical
decomposition or mechanical violence, even the hardest rocks, and
transporting these materials to the sea, where they are spread out, and
form strata analogous to those of more ancient date. -- The Theory of
the Earth (1788) James Hutton

By these researches in the state of the earth and its inhabitants at former
periods, we acquire a more perfect knowledge of its present condition, and
more comprehensive views concerning the laws now governing its animate
and inanimate productions.

the law of superposition: "... at the time when any given stratum was being formed, all the
matter resting upon it was fluid, and, therefore, at the time when the lower stratum was being
formed, none of the upper strata existed";
the principle of original horizontality: "Strata either perpendicular to the horizon or inclined to
the horizon were at one time parallel to the horizon";
the principle of lateral continuity: "Material forming any stratum were continuous over the
surface of the Earth unless some other solid bodies stood in the way";
the principle of cross-cutting relationships: "If a body or discontinuity cuts across a stratum, it
must have formed after that stratum."

This principle, is of great importance in determining the relative age of rocks and
strata. The fossil content of rocks together with the law of superposition helps to
determine the time sequence in which sedimentary rocks were laid down.
