Overview

Excerpt from Manual of Geology: Treating of the Principles of the Science With Special Reference to American Geological History The author has endeavored to bring the volume into as small a. Compass as consistent with a proper exhibition of the science; and, if some find its pages too numerous, he feels confident that quite as many would prefer greater fullness. The details introduced have seemed to be necessary, in order that the march of events should be appreciated. At the same time, the work has been adapted to the general reader and literary student, by the printing of the scientific details in finer type. The convenience of a literary class has been further provided for by adding to the Appendix a brief synopsis of the part in coarser type, in which each head is made to present a subject, or question, for special attention. And, as many may not be familiar with the science of Zoology, a review of the classification of animals, with numerous figures, has been inserted as an introduction to the Historical part of the Manual.
