Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paul and Virginia of a Northern Zone
But whence had come all this sand which formed the barren region between the fresh green water and the fresh green trees? It might have been blown there, could be an swered. But whence could it have been blown? Sand does not blow straight up from the sea, and still less does it blow out from the trees, from the forest, where the soil is firm, clothed at the edge with brass-yellow lichens farther in, covered with soft carpets of moss; and farther still, where the little swamps and swales appear, decked with fine waving grass. F rom here the sand could not possibly have come; it must, then, have been washed up by the waves.
