Excerpt from The Student's Lyell: The Principles and Methods of Geology, as Applied to the Investigation of the Past History of the Earth and Its Inhabitants

The size of the book of course precludes its being made an exhaustive treatise on geology, with full references to original memoirs; nor dare I anticipate that all my fellow-teachers will coincide with me in judgment as to what should be included in and what it is best to omit from a work with the scope and limits of the present one yet I venture to hope that the modifications, rearrangements, and additions now' introduced into the book have served to bring it up to date, and that teachers and students may alike find that it continues to be what Lyell made it - a convenient and trustworthy introduction to geological science.
