Excerpt from Geonomy Creation of the Continents: By the Ocean Currents, And Kosmo-Nomia, the Growth of Worlds and the Cause of Gravitation I Regard it not only as a pleasure but a privilege to write this introduction. Like all others who have enjoyed a long and intimate acquaintance with the author, I have always had the greatest respect for his character and admiration for his abilities. But I do not propose to avail myself of this opportunity to eulogize him personally: his merits are best illustrated by his works, and I am aware that he desires no undeserved compliments. One of his most distinguishing traits is his intellectual independence. I take especial interest in this work for the reason that it was written in compliance with my urgent request. I had long known that the author entertained peculiar views concerning the origin of continents, but my professional avocations prevented me from giving special attention to the subject, besides, I must confess that, notwithstanding my high opinion of his abilities, I supposed that his novel ideas were only ingenious speculations.
