Synopsis
Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on Elementary Geology
It is the aim to begin with those phenomena with which the average student is most likely to be familiar, and by using this familiarity to branch out so as to Cover the whole field, in so far as it can be done in such an elementary course Of lectures.
The order of presentation is approximately that followed in the text-books.
The student cannot be too deeply impressed with the fact that, if he is to get a real knowledge Of geology, he must go out Of doors and see it face to face. No amount Of book study, however important and thorough it may be, can take the place Of this field study. But neither must books be neglected, for they contain the results of what others have seen and thought.
The foot-note references will enable students to extend their knowledge by reading. These references are not intended to be full, but the papers cited almost invariably mention others upon the same subject, and some of them contain full bibliographies.
