Abstract
THESE two works, by the same author, are presented to the public at nearly the same time, but there is no other reason why they should be described together. The first is a collection of short papers, each presenting some matter of personal observation or some contribution to geological philosophy. The second exhibits the science of geology in a systematic way, and of necessity deals chiefly with the results of the work of others. The first is addressed to the general reader, and in part to the geologist; the second is addressed specifically to the student.
