Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geological Excursions Round the Isle of Wight, and Along the Adjacent Coast of Dorsetshire: Illustrative of the Most Interesting Geological Phenomena and Organic Remains
IN the Supplementary Chapter, appended to the last edition of this work, the author - whose loss the scientific world and his many friends deplore - supplied to his readers a notice of such fossils and geological facts as had accrued during the four previous years. This valuable resumé of the, more recent discoveries in the Tertiary, Cretaceous, and Wealden deposits has been retained intact in the present edition; but that the reader may be in possession of the latest discoveries, a succinct account of the further progress of geological research has been drawn up by a scientific friend of the much lamented deceased, to whom, also, have been entrusted those sheets of the new edition of the Medals which Dr. Mantel] left imperfectly revised.
