Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geological Progress of Twenty-Five Years: President's Address Before the Ohio Academy of Science November, 1991
In carrying out this purpose I limit myself to the geological principles and theories which have come into prominence in the time under consideration. Detailed studies in the field, laboratory or office are interesting and important, and in many cases mean long months or years of the closest kind of work, but, after all, the general principles which are based on them are the important contribution to geology, and it is these which are of the largest interest to the general student. He wishes, for example, to have a correct theory of mountain formation, but does not care for any greater knowledge of the geological detail than is necessary for a clear understanding of the theory.
