"Prof. Wright's work is great enough to be called monumental. There
is net a page that is not instructive and suggestive. It is sure to
make a reputation aboard as well as at home for its distinguished
author, as one of the most active and intelligent of the living
students of natural science and the special department of glacial
action."--_Philadelphia Bulletin_.

marvelous physical revolutions of which our earth has been the

unlock most geological problems which may meet him in any quarter of
the globe."--_From the Preface_.
