Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Book of Geology
To prevent misconception, I will say at Once that this book has no pretensions to be a. Guide to any examina tion, but is intended to introduce the really earnest student to the study of Geology. Examinations, how ever, are not to be ignored 3 it is indisputable that they are important and indispensable aids to education; but in my experience I find that a student who makes them the ultimatum of his study not only loses the true pleasure derived from an acquaintance with the secrets Of nature and the accumulation of intellectual wealth, but he Of ten acquires a secret distaste for the subject Of his studies.
