Synopsis
Excerpt from Chapters From the Physical History of the Earth: An Introduction to Geology and Palæontology
IT will readily be conceded that a liberal education is incomplete without some knowledge of the leading principles of modern science. Accordingly, the more practical and immediately useful of the natural sciences -especially chemistry and physical geography - are now usually included in the regular course of study, wherever it is desired to maintain a standard of educa tion commensurate with the demands certain to be made upon a student entering one of the professions, or aspiring to the higher grades of culture. While so many excellent text-books exist, it might seem unnecessary to add to their number; but such works deal with special subjects, and are for the most part highly technical, rendering it necessary that the varied information they contain should be brought to a focus and directed to the elucidation of the physical and biological history of our planet - ah object the author has endeavoured to attain in this volume. Few students or readers find time or Opportunity for acquainting themselves sufficiently with astronomical physics, physical geography, biology.
