Abstract
ALTHOUGH this work bears on its title-page the name of a London publisher, it is evidently prepared with a view to the requirements of teachers and students in the United States. It forms one of the “Twentieth Century Text-books” edited by Dr. A. F. Nightingale, formerly of Chicago. According to its author's preface, this text-book has been especially prepared as an elementary treatise for secondary schools in America, and it seems admirably adapted for this purpose. While modestly disclaiming any great originality in the plan of the work or novelty in the mode of treatment of geological problems, the author may be congratulated upon having produced a very clear and readable introduction to the study of geology. The illustrations, many of which are new, are especially excellent, some being from original photographs taken by the author during his travels.
A Text-book of Geology.
By Albert Perry Brigham, Professor of Geology in Colgate University. Pp. 477; illustrated. (London: Hirschfeld Brothers, Ltd., 1902.)
