Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The method of presentation followed in these lectures is not intended to be a strictly logical one from a geological point of view. It is not thought that the logic of the subject as a whole is of any particular importance to the student until he shall have gained a good general knowledge of geological phenomena and of geological principles. It is the aim to begin with those phenomena with which the average student is most likely to be familiar, and by using this familiarity to branch out so as to cover the whole field, in so far as it can be done in such an elementary course of lectures. The order of presentation is approximately that followed in the textbooks. The student cannot be too deeply impressed with the fact that, if he is to get a real knowledge of geology, he must go out of doors and see it face to face. No amount of book study, however important and thorough it may be, can take the place of this field study. But neither must books be neglected, for they contain the results of what others have seen and thought. The foot-note references will enable students to extend their knowledge by reading. These references are not intended to be full, but the papers cited almost invariably mention others upon the same subject, and some of them contain full bibliographies.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
