Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memoir of William Pengelly, of Torquay, F. R. S., Geologist, With a Selection From His Correspondence: With a Summary of His Scientific Work
IT is to be regretted that circumstances have made it needful for the author to put into other hands than her own the work of setting a short preface to the grateful task which she has so assiduously and lovingly laboured at, and so ably carried through.
The regret experienced is, however, somewhat softened by the consideration, that one unconnected with the subject of the memoir, except by the tie of friendship, is under less restraint than his daughter has shown herself to feel, in esti mating his many sterling qualities, and remarkable capacity.
