Abstract
THE two volumes before us strikingly illustrate the principle that scientific geography—as distinct from mere geographical description —must be based on the deductions of geology and the physical sciences; and no less do they indicate how much geology looks to gain from the study of the present features of the earth's surface, and of terrestrial processes now going on upon it.
