(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Excerpt from Outlines of Mineralogy: For Geological StudentsThe subject Mineralogy is of fundamental interest to workers in many sciences. A century ago, the study of the materials that diversify the earths crust was regarded as a natural occupation among men of taste and leisure. The "grand tour" of Europe, which became more and more possible at the close of the Napoleonic wars, opened the eyes of many to the wealth of mineral substances that...

Excerpt from The Growth of EuropeThis book attempts to show how the surface features of Europe are the result of remarkable and comparatively recent changes, in which the wearing away of the rocks and the deposi tion of continental waste have played a far smaller part than the actual upheaval and depression of the land. These surface-features are intimately related to the movements of man across them, and it is hoped that the 'traveller in fam...

Excerpt from Rocks and Their OriginsRocktaluses, and all the varied alluvium carried seaward as the outcash of continental land, well deserve a chapter to themselves. But there is really no end to the subject, which embraces all the accumulative processes of the earth.

Excerpt from Ireland the Outpost Ireland has lain in the path of great migrations, from Berber Africa, from the mouths of Frisian rivers, from the viks and fjords of the sterner northlands. From her own drowned valleys, the harbours that knew the ships of Gades and of Gaul, her people have moved westward and linked the Old world with the new. At times she catches the light that ¿oods across from Europe, and adds to its brightness the ardent g...

Excerpt from Aids in Practical Geology While the size of the book has not been increased in this edition, alterations have been made in more than one hundred places, whereby, it is hoped, the fairly wide subject-matter has been brought up to date or more adequately set before the reader. The book has always aimed at aiding those who enquire into the materials and history of the earth's crust, for purposes of research or for any special enterp...
