In connection with hisT ext-B ooks of Geology, the Author has long meditated the production of two similar works on the closely-allied science of Physical Geography. The two subjects are most intimately connected; Geology forming, as it were, the groundwork of Geography and Geography, on the other hand, becoming the field in which the operating causes of Geology are most obviously and intelligibly at work. The one becomes, in fact, the complement of the other; and the student of Geology can have no better preliminary training than a systematic course of Physical Geography while the student of Geography cannot more readily ascend to the higher problems of his science than through the teachings of Geology. Though thus closely related, the two sciences may be studied, each on its own basis; and a large amount of knowledge may be acquired respecting the geographical conditions of the world its lands, waters, and atmosphere; their mutual actions and reactions; the distribution of mineral, vegetable, and animal productions; and the bearings of these on the intellectual and social progress of man, without knowing more of Geology than merely being able to appreciate and apply its more obvious deductions.
