Abstract
IT goes very much against the grain, for it savours of ingratitude, to begin by picking holes in a book that has been a trusted companion, that has proved itself worthy of trust, and to which I have been so largely indebted, as the volume before me. But the strictures I feel bound to make are not very severe, and the blots I cannot help noticing do not impair seriously the value of the work—do not, indeed, detract at all from its usefulness in the case of a large number of readers.
Text-Book of Geology.
By Sir Archibald Geikie, Director-General of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and Ireland. Third Edition, revised and enlarged. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1893.)
