Abstract
THE outstanding feature of this book is the remarkable amount of cogent information which has been attractively compressed into its twenty-three chapters. The various principles and processes of the widely varied fields of mining, civil, and agricultural geology are illustrated wherever possible by examples that are personally known to the author; and as Prof. Gregory is a geologist and explorer of unrivalled experience, the book is particularly valuable both for its references to little-known sources of evidence and for the intimacy and vitality of the style in which it is written.
The Elements of Economic Geology.
