Abstract
IT is always well to keep in touch with the methods and conclusions of workers in other countries; and in a general way this can only be done by text-books. In this respect the present work will be found of considerable service to British students of geology. It is intended especially for American students, and has been written both for those who desire to pursue the subject exhaustively, and for those who seek only to learn the principal results of the science. To satisfy the needs of these different classes is a task that it would be impossible fully to attain in any work, for the details required by some would be apt to repel others. Nevertheless, the author has well succeeded in his main endeavours.
