Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Orkneys and Shetland: Their Past and Present State
Survey, and his colleague Mr. Horne, who, for many years, spent their yearly vacations in examining into the much vexed (till settled by them) question as to the glaciation of Shetland, the Orkneys, and the North of Scotland. They kindly promised, if ever I went to press, to aid me by writing the chapters on the geology of these northern isles, a promise which they have most admirably kept, as the reader himself can see.
