Excerpt from Advanced Text-Book of Geology: Descriptive and Industrial
Yet another word: The Author requests his brother geo legists who may glance over these pages to remember that they are not intended to contain an exposition of his own peculiar views, but rather to exhibit an elementary outline of the science as now established by the leading workers in Britain, France, Germany, and America. The main object has been to render the student such assistance as will enable him to proceed in the field as a practical observer, and to read with appreciation the higher treatises, special mono graphs, papers, and new discoveries of others. To further this object mention is made, at the end of each section, of the principal works devoted to the department in question to have done more would have been to enter on the field of speculative geology - a subject that lies beyond the scope of an Educational Text-book.
