Earth Sculpture

Abstract

THE origin of the features of the earth's surface must always prove an attractive subject no less to the geographer than to the geologist. The one describes and the other expounds; and the work before us is an admirable example of what may be done by the joint labours of geologist and geographer in illustrating and explaining the form of the ground.

Les Formes du Terrain.

Par Lieut.-Colonel G. De la Noë, avec la collaboration de Emm. de Margerie. 2 Vols. (Text, pp. 205; Plates xlix.). (Paris, 1888.)
