Abstract
THE subject of volcanos is one which possesses a popular as well as a purely scientific interest, and the more so of late years, since it seldom happens that the foreign mails come in without bringing us tidings of volcanic outbursts or earthquake shocks, often fearfully disastrous, which have occurred in some one or other part of the globe; so that it is but natural to expect that the appearance of a revised and enlarged reissue of the second edition of the well-known work on volcanos by the distinguished and veteran geologist Mr. Poulett Scrope, will attract the attention, not only of geologists, but of the scientifically inclined public in general.
Volcanos.
By G. Poulett Scrope, &c. Second Edition revised and enlarged. With Prefatory Remarks. (London: Longmans, 1872.)
