China: Ergebnisse eigener Reisen und darauf gegründeter Studien Atlas von China

Abstract

THESE volumes complete what may well be called the monumental work of Baron v. Richthofen on China, for the word is equally appropriate whether we regard the extent and importance of his researches, which will stand for all time as the foundation of our knowledge of the geology of the Chinese Empire, or whether we regard the fact that the author himself was only able to publish a portion of his work, the greater part having been prepared for and put through the press by the devoted industry of his friends and former pupils.
