Abstract
THE two volumes before us must be regarded as parts of a complete work in which the author has set himself the task of disproving the usually accepted glacial theory. As he himself says in his preface, “the two volumes now published contain a large part of, though not all, my supplementary arguments against the glacial theory; a portion being still reserved for a succeeding volume which will also contain an enlarged presentation and justification of the theory I substituted for it in my ‘Glacial Nightmare,’ namely, the diluvial theory.”
