Excerpt from South African GeologySome people collect postage stamps, others, called geo logists, collect facts and docket and label them with an in telligence equal to that devoted by the stamp collectors to their subject. My book will be of very little use to those who wish to become scientists of this kind. I have en deavoured to describe the facts as far as possible in relation to their causes, and to give some insight into the processes of geological reasoning. I have used the simplest possible lan guage, because I hope that the book may fall into the hands of many people who, though not skilled in all the intricacies of scientific nomenclature, take an interest in nature and have a longing for a better understanding of the glories of this wonderful land of South Africa.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
