Présentation de l'éditeur
Philadelphia. His aim has been merely to so interpret many of natures teachings as to render them readily comprehensible to the average mind, and to awaken that spirit for investigation which cannot but prove both pleasurable and profitable, and which, unfortunately, only too frequently remains dormant for want of proper cultivation. With this object in view he has omitted superfluous details, and the discussion of questions which are in the main still of a controversial character. The observations recorded are almost exclusively such as have fallen to the personal notice of the author, although for many of the data bearing upon the history of the gravels and clays he is indebted to the writings of PROF. H. C. LEWIS, who has made a special study of the formation. The geological sketch map of theS tate of Pennsylvania is based upon a similar map prepared to illustrate an article by PROF. J. P. LESLEY for theE ncyclopaedia Britannica. A. H. Philadelphia, May i$th, 1885.
