Abstract
THE object of the very attractive volume before us, as stated by its author, is to supply geographers with such a knowledge of geological processes as is necessary for understanding the origin of the orographic features of the earth's surface. With this purpose in view, technical details are—so far as is possible—avoided, while disputed and doubtful topics are, as a rule, kept in the background; while by vivid and picturesque descriptions, aided by admirable photographic illustrations and diagrams, the reader is made acquainted with the chief types of mountain forms, and the agencies by which they have been produced.
