Présentation de l'éditeur
The justification of this statement is one object of this volume ;another will be served if it is found to suggest directions in which further geographical investigation is possible, whether on the physical, the historical, or the economic side. The absence, for the most part, of textbooks for such study points to the opportunity for research. My own indebtedness, however, to the works of Professor E. Hull on the physical and Dr. P. W. Joyce on the historical side must be acknowledged. The book may also serve to indicate possible lines of field-work, as, for example, the sight-investigation of land-forms described in the text, or of antiquities. The maps of course assume, and are intended to supplement, the topographical knowledge which is to be learnt from any good atlas-map, or, in greater detail, from theO rdnance Survey orB artholomew sreduced survey map of 4miles =1 inch. The large-scale pagemaps are the work of Mr. W. Bisiker. I constructed the remainder. I must thank my wife for help on certain points, and Professor A. J. Herbertson for the original suggestion of the book and for assistance at every stage of its preparation. O.J.R.H. January,
