Excerpt from Allgemeine Meereskunde

The increased demand for text-books in scientific German has led to the annotating of the present work.

Washer's Allgemeine Meereskunde, has been chosen, first, because of the intrinsic value of the book, from a scientific standpoint; secondly, because of the interesting manner in which the subject matter is presented, the work being, by no means, a dry scientific treatise, but presenting the subject in an attractive and popular form and abounding in charming descriptions and beauties of style; thirdly, because it treats of so many different sciences (Botany, Zoology, Physical Geography, Chemistry, and Geology) that the student, in the one work, is made familiar with the technical terms of many sciences.

In annotating the book for class-room use, it has been necessary to abridge it. The complete edition is published by J. J. Weber, Leipzig. Having used the book, for three years, in my classes, I have noted the difficulties of students and have endeavored to adapt the notes and vocabulary to their needs. In the preparation of the same, I have received invaluable aid from the following professors of science in the University of Wisconsin: Dr. E. A. Birge, Professor of Zoology, Dr. C. R. Van Hise, Professor of Geology, and Dr. W. H. Hobbs, Assistant Professor of Mineralogy and Petrology.
