Abstract
THE appearance of a manual of Indian geology of so excellent a character as the present work, written by an Indian geologist, is an event of some importance, since it furnishes a fresh and convincing answer to the argument so often put forward that the Oriental mind, though it may assimilate the ideas of Western science with ease, is yet incapable of applying the principles of that science to original research. It is true that the author in his preface modestly admits that the book is in the main a compilation; yet the able manner in which he has marshalled the facts, and the clearness of his reasoning, especially when dealing with matters that are still open to controversy, show that he is by no means lacking in originality of thought and expression.
