О книге

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 39

The rapid progress of geology is evinced, in no way so strikingly, as in the great increase, within the present century, of valuable works upon this noble science. Travellers of high qualifications now give us the results of their geological observations in many countries, and their researches being amply illustrated in many instances by maps and drawings, their works are thus rendered intelligible, both to the learned and those who have not been trained in science.

Even in popular travels, it is not uncommon to find important geological descriptions more or less extended - in paragraphs, in sections or chapters. In consequence of the habit of observation now so generally established, a rich reward is thus presented to the traveller, especially in regions, where man has done little, and nature much.

The same remark is applicable to other branches of Natural History, and it is obvious, that he who is acquainted with all of them need never be without sources of rational enjoyment, while he is amassing treasures for the advancement of science. In geology, many excellent local descriptions have, within a few years appeared. Vast magazines of knowledge are garnered in the Transactions of the Geological Societies of London, of Paris and of other countries.
