Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Physiography: An Introduction to the Study of Nature
The lectures on Physiography were delivered at the London Institution In 1869; and I repeated them, at South Kensington, in 1870. Verbatim reports were taken on the former occasion, as it was my intention to publish the course. But I am sorry to say that, in this, as in other cases, I have found a great gulf fixed between intention to publish and its realization.
Seeing a book through the press is a laborious and time wasting affair; greatly aggravated, in cases such as the present, by the necessity of superintending the execution of maps and figures. And, as I never could muster up the courage, or find the time, to undertake the business, the manuscript remained untouched until last year.
