Excerpt from Fragments of Earth Lore: Sketches Addresses; Geological and Geographical

The articles in this volume deal chiefly with the history of Glacial times and the origin of surface-features. As they were not written with any view to their subsequent appear ance in a collected form, each is so far independent and complete in itself. Under these circumstances some repeti tion was unavoidable, if the articles were not to be recast, and I did not think it advisable to make such radical alteration. With the exception of verbal changes and some excisions, therefore, the papers remain substantially in their original state. Here and there a foot-note has been added to indicate where the views expressed in the text have since been modified but I have not been careful to insert such notes throughout. Geologists, like other folk, live and learn, and the reader will probably discover that the opinions set forth in some of the later articles are occa.
