Excerpt from Physical Geography, Vol. 1 of 2
Since the publication of the first edition of this work, the Author has been able to correct many inaccuracies that had crept into it, and to collect much new matter from works since published, which is embodied in the present edition, and has considerably added to its size. The recently published Second Volume of Baron Humboldt"s invaluable "Cosmos," with Colonel Sabine"s learned notes, and sundry papers that have appeared in the scientific periodicals of Europe, America, and India, bearing on questions of Physical Geography, have yielded profitable information.
