Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Field-Geology
AT the request of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council on Education I gave, in the month of August, 1876, at South Kensington, two lectures upon geological maps and instruments of surveying. These lectures formed part of a series designed for teachers, and in illustration of the Loan Collection of Scientific Instru ments at that time exhibited. Treating the subject allotted to me in what seemed likely to prove the most useful manner, I dwelt more specially upon the methods of Observation requisite in ordinary field-geology and endeavoured to show how, by the practice of these methods, geological maps and sections, representing in condensed form the facts established by field-work, could be constructed. The lectures were published in pamphlet form later in the autumn of the same year.
