Excerpt from From Source to Sea: Or Gleanings About Rivers in Many Fields
A preface is only pardonable when the author has some thing to say. In the present case he feels bound to state briefly what is the exact position of the little work thus introduced to the public. It is not another treatise on Physical Geography; it aims rather at being an interesting supplement to one chapter in that delightful science.

Rivers are selected from the great features of the earth's surface, and an attempt is made to develop the various points of view from which they may be regarded. They are treated successively as physical phenomena and geological agents, as elements of picturesque scenery, as the seats of vegetable and animal life, and as connected with the history, religion, and industry of man. Finally, a slight contribution is made to the difficult task of determining the meaning of their names.
In such a work originality cannot be expected so much as judgment in selecting material, and accuracy in using it. The student of Etymology, however, will notice some novel conjectures in the chapter on British names.
If the various gleanings thus brought together impart life and animation to the serious study of the Surface of the Globe, the object of this small volume will be fully attained.
