Abstract
I OBTAIN NATURE in monthly parts, and am indebted to a friend for calling attention to the article on “Elevation and Subsidence” by Mr. J. Starkie Gardner in vol. xxviii. p. 323, in which he considers that, “wherever considerable weight is added to any part of the earth's surface, a corresponding subsidence of its crust almost invariably follows.” As it is evident from the last paragraph in Mr. Gardner's paper that he esteems this opinion to be novel to the readers of NATURE, and being the first time it can be considered as having been discussed in your pages, it might have been more satisfactory perhaps had he passed in review the conclusions arrived at by others who have preceded him.
