An Introduction To Geology | by William B. Scott

This book had its origin in the attempt to write an introductory work, dealing principally with American Geology, upon the lines of Sir Archibald Geikie's excellent little " Class-Book." In spite of vigorous efforts at compression, it has expanded to its present size, though the difference from the "Class-Book," in this respect, lies not so much in the quantity of matter as in the larger size of the type and illustrations.

Second Edition Revised Throughout

By William B. Scott, Ph.D., LL.D, Blair Professor Of Geology And Palaeontology In Princeton University.

"There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea.

" The hills are shadows, and they flow.

From form to form and nothing stands; They melt like mists, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go".

Tennyson.

With numerous illustrations from drawings by Bruce Horsfall and from many new photographs.
