Problems in Time and Space: A Collection of Essays Relating to the Earth, Physically and Astronomically and Cognate Matters (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems in Time and Space: A Collection of Essays Relating to the Earth, Physically and Astronomically and Cognate Matters
The following Essays form a collection rather than a series that is to say they are mutually independent of each other and may be read in any order. This necessarily results in some repetition when the subject-matter of one Essay trenches upon that of another. I have thought it preferable, however, that such repetition should occur, to such an extent as is requisite to avoid obscurity in relation to the subject specially dealt with, rather than that certain Essays should be mutually dependent.
