marvelous physical revolutions of which our earth has been the scene. Of
the various ages traced and located by scientists, none is more
interesting or can be more so than the Ice age, and never have its
phenomena been more clearly and graphically described, or its causes
more definitely located, than in this thrillingly interesting
volume.”—_Boston Traveller._

“I have tried rather to teach the method of geology than its facts; to
furnish the student with a key to all geology; rough indeed and
rudimentary, but sure and sound enough, I trust, to help him to unlock
most geological problems which may meet him in any quarter of the
globe.”—_From the Preface._

traveler who would like to know the country through which he is
passing.”—_Boston Evening Transcript._
