Abstract
THE scientific study of scenery, which owed so much to Sir Archibald Geikie, Lord Avebury, and later to J. E. Marr, has benefited greatly in recent years from the writings of Dr. Vaughan Cornish. He has not only devoted himself to the problems of the preservation of scenery and to the related question of national parks, but has sought also for a new approach to the appreciation of scenery. He has endeavoured to develop an analytic study of beauty in scenery, and in this new book he has sought to provide a manual on this subject, which he hopes may be useful as a basis "for education in scenic amenity in preparation for the re-planning of town and country".
