"Now that thousands of people go every summer to spend their holidays 

 among the mountains, there must be many who would like to know something 

 of the secrets of the hills, — their origin, their architecture, and the forces that 

 made them what they are. For such this book is chiefly written." — Preface. 



" A most fascinating book for readers of all ages and conditions, and espe- 

 cially those addicted to travel." — School Journal. 



**. . . Mr. Hutchinson's graphic and entertaining narrative concerning the 

 mountains — their origin, their architecture, and the forces that made them what 

 ' they are — has the charm and interest of a work of fiction. More wonderful, 

 indeed, is the story unfolded, in these pages than any work of fiction could 

 possibly be. . . , The volume is written to suit the comprehension of the 

 ordinary reader, and is as free as the subject will permit of purely technical 

 terms. The author has brought the subject up to date, so far as geological 

 data and theories are concerned. The work is profusely and beautifully illus- 

 trated with photographic views and sketches of many famous mountains." — 

 Christian at Work, 



" A book that has long been needed is one that shall give a clear account of 

 the geological formation of mountains, and their various methods of origin, in 

 language so clear and technical that it will not confuse even the most unsci- 

 entific. Such a work is that by the Rev. Mr. Hutchinson." — Boston Evening-
