Excerpt from Advanced Text-Book of Geology: Descriptive and Industrial
Yet another word: The Author requests his brother geo legists who may glance over these pages to remember that they are not intended to contain an exposition of his own peculiar views, but rather to exhibit an elementary outline of the science as now established by the leading workers in Britain, France, Germany, and America. The main object has been to render the student such assistance as will enable him to proceed in the field as a practical observer, and to read with appreciation the higher treatises, special mono graphs, papers, and new discoveries of others. To further this object mention is made, at the end of each section, of the principal works devoted to the department in question to have done more would have been to enter on the field of speculative geology - a subject that lies beyond the scope of an Educational Text-book.

Excerpt from Advanced Text-Book of Geology: Descriptive and Industrial
This Treatise, while intended as a sequel to the Author's "Introductory Text-Book," has been prepared throughout as a separate and independent work. The purpose of these Text-Books is briefly this: The Introductory is meant to exhibit an outline of Geology intelligible to beginners, and sufficient for those who wish to become acquainted merely with the leading facts of the science; the Advanced, on the other hand, presents the subject in detail, and is intended for senior pupils and those who desire to prosecute the study in its principles as well as deductions. Though thus prepared on the same plan, and the one but an extension and development of the other, they are both independent elementary works, and may be taken separately or in sequence, according to the progress and purpose of the student. This much may be said, that he who has mastered the Introductory will have nothing to unlearn when he comes to study the Advanced, while his acquisition of the science will have been rendered much more easy and agreeable. The Author has a strong conviction on this point.
