Description
In the present Manual of GEOLOGY it has been the aim of the author rather to indicate the methods of geological inquiry and reasoning, than to present the learner with a tedious summary of results. Attention has therefore been directed chiefly to the physical branches of the science--Palaeontology and Historical Geology, which are very large subjects of themselves, having been only lightly touched upon.
