Prestwich's “Geology”

Abstract

IT is just two years ago that we were called upon to notice the first volume of this important treatise; and the author of it has now signalized the completion of his labours at Oxford by giving to the world the second and concluding volume of the work. Its publication has long been eagerly looked forward to, and now that the book is before us, we may safely assert that it more than justifies the high expectations which have been formed concerning it; and we confidently predict that it will add to the already high reputation of the veteran geologist to whom we are indebted for it.

Geology: Chemical, Physical, and Stratigraphical.

By Joseph Prestwich, Correspondent of the Institute of France, Professor of Geology in the University of Oxford. In Two Volumes. Vol. II. Stratigraphical and Physical. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1888.)
