Overview

Excerpt from Popular Physical Geology My excuse for putting forth an elementary work on Geology at all, must be, that there can hardly be too many elementary books which are the results, more or less com pletely, of actual experience, and not the mere compilation and compression of other books. I recollect, when leaving school for college, being advised by an eminent scholar to read as many (lg'ferent grammam as possible. Not that it was supposed that any of them would contain any large amount of matter that was not to be found in all the rest, but that, by the different order and arrangement of the dif ferent writers, the matter was looked at on all sides and in every light. The mere variations in the turns of expression, or the terms of description, as well as in the collocation of parts, may make one thing more intelligible to one person and another to another.
