Man and Nature; or, Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action. By
George P. Marsh, Author of "Lectures on the English Language," &c. 8vo.
cloth, 14_s._
"_Mr. Marsh traces the history of human industry as shown in
the extensive modification and extirpation of animal and
vegetable life in the woods, the waters, and the sands; and, in
a concluding chapter, he discusses the probable and possible
geographical changes yet to be wrought. The whole of Mr.
Marsh's book is an eloquent showing of the duty of care in the
establishment of harmony between man's life and the forces of
nature, so as to bring to their highest points the fertility of
the soil, the vigour of the animal life, and the salubrity of
the climate, on which we have to depend for the physical
well-being of mankind._"--Examiner.
