Physiography for Advanced Students (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Physiography for Advanced Students The course of elementary physiography, outlined in the helpful syllabus issued by the Department of Science and Art in 1896, constitutes an excellent introduction to physical science. In the advanced stage of the subject, the fundamental principles described in the elementary course are developed and expanded so that the two stages together provide the student with a comprehensive view of various branches of natural knowledge. A little book, entitled Physiography for Beginners, designed to assist students taking up the elementary stage of the subject, has met with so favourable a reception that the author has been encouraged to prepare a volume to cover the advanced course. The present book is the result. The plan which was adopted in the earlier part of supplying precise instructions for simple experiments to exemplify the principles underlying the phenomena described, has been adhered to, as well as that of briefly summarising the chapters and adding questions (some of them from examination papers in physiography) for home exercises, when the book is used in classes. A glance through the pages will, it is believed, afford justification for the hope that the general reader who is anxious to become acquainted with the causes of familiar natural phenomena, such as cyclones, tides, seismic disturbances, c., will find the volume serviceable and interesting.
