CLIMATE AND TIME IN THEIR GEOLOGICAL RELATIONS: A THEORY OF SECULAR CHANGES OF THE EARTH’S CLIMATE. By James Croll, of H. M. Geological Survey of Scotland. With Maps and Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $2.50.
“I have studiously avoided introducing anything of a hypothetical character. All the conclusions are based on known facts or admitted physical principles. In short, the aim of the work is to prove that secular changes of climate follow, as a necessary effect, from admitted physical agencies, and that these changes, in as far as the past climatic condition of the globe is concerned, fully meet the demand of the geologist.”—From the Preface.
