Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Sir Joseph Prestwich, M.A., D. C. L., F. R. S: Formerly Professor of Geology in the University of Oxford
This Memoir was not undertaken without anxious misgivings: it might not have been attempted but for the encouragement and prompting of Sir John Evans, who urged that I could best tell of the home life, and that the scientific publications, by the subject of the Memoir, had already spoken for themselves. I accordingly decided to do my utmost in what, it is needless to say, has been altogether a labour of love.
