Excerpt from Man as a Geological Agent
Much of the work is compilation, and data have been collected from all sources. Some new information, however, has been obtained by direct investigation; and the aim throughout has been to give the data for all statements. It has been difficult to avoid the weariness and obscurity produced by the setting out of too many figures, and, on the other hand, to give sufficient data to justify the conclusions.
