Pioneers of Geology

Abstract

A FOUNDATION should be laid on a sound bottom, and should be itself constructed so as to hold together in one solid mass. For this, each man engaged upon it must carry out thoroughly the work entrusted to him, one in an obscure corner mixing the mortar, another, more in evidence, laying the bricks.

The Founders of Geology.

Second edition. By Sir Archibald Geikie Pp. xi + 486. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1905.) Price 10s. net.
