While planned for courses in colleges and normal schools, 

 it presupposes no previous study of physical geography. The 

 effort has been made, where practicable, to lead the student 

 into the subject under discussion rather than to tell him the 

 conclusions which have already been reached. 



W. M. DAVIS, Harvard Univer- SCHOOL SCIEXCE AND MATHE- 

 sity : It is' an important addi- 

 tion to college literature, the first 

 book of college grade on physi- 

 ography. The illustrations are 

 for the most part remarkably 

 successful and appropriate. 



N. M. FENNEMAN, University 

 of Cincinnati: I shall under- 

 take its use in my class in physi- 

 ography. There is every reason 

 to believe that it will be the 

 standard text-book for colleges 

 for a long time to come. 



T. A. JAGGAR, Jr., Massachu- 

 setts Institute of Technology : 

 This volume is an admirable 

 supplement to Chamberlin and 

 Salisbury's Geology and will be 

 an invaluable reference book in 

 all the geological libraries of the 

 country. As a text-book for use 

 in colleges, it will undoubtedly 

 meet a need which exists for a 

 more comprehensive work than 

 the current text-books. . . . The 

 illustrations and references are 

 all up-to-date and the bibli- 

 ographies are very complete. . . . 

 It is strongly American and both 

 illustrations and text are largely 

 drawn from American sources. 

 . . . This is a strong advance be- 

 yond the earlier conception of 

 American physiography and is, I 

 believe, an advance in the right 

 direction. 



L. H. WOOD, State Normal 

 School, Kalamazoo, Mich., in 



AND 



MATICS: A strong point in the 

 book is this, that, with the ex- 

 ception of a few references to 

 physiographic effects on human 

 life, scattered thru its pages, it 

 presents physiography as a 

 science associating causes and 

 effects clearly and forcibly, thus 

 avoiding the mistake made by 

 many authors who try to exalt 

 physiographic control at the ex- 

 pense of a science deeply inter- 

 esting for its own sake. . . . The 

 text contains more than seven 

 hundred illustrations, forty-three 

 of which are sections of top- 

 ographic maps, and of the others 

 more than three hundred are 

 beautiful half-tones. The placing 

 of pictures with respect to text 

 is admirable. The half-tones 

 are not merely inserted, as in 

 some books, but bear a vital re- 

 lation to the text. . . . The style 

 of the author, in the exposition 

 of the science, is delightfully 

 clear, and the concise statement 

 of the most abstruse parts of the 

 work will be a source of satis- 

 faction to every student who ap- 

 preciates exactness and definite- 

 ness. Tho this book is written 

 for college students, the style is 

 so clear, and the treatment so 

 straightforward, that the average 

 high-school student will read it 

 as easily as the more elementary 

 texts.
