Abstract
THE ever-increasing number of text-books on this subject is evidence that the study of physiography is gaining in popularity. The object of the book before us, as the author states in his “Prologue on the Beach,” is to give a systematic statement of the nature of the forces at work in the world, and of the changes which the matter of the world undergoes. The book is obviously designed to cover the syllabus issued by the authorities at South Kensington, although no mention of this fact is made.
