Abstract
THIS handy volume, comprehensive and competent, illustrated generously and luminously, is easily the best of the smaller books dealing with the sea and all that in it is. The only English book that can hold a candle to it is Sir John Murray's little volume in the Home University Library, but it is much smaller and necessarily restricted in its illustrations. With larger treatises, the best of which is “The Depths of the Ocean” by Murray and Hjort, the present compact volume does not compete, but the gist of the matter is all here; and the whole story of oceanography is admirably told.
