Geikie, Sir Archibald. Landscape in history, and other essays. [*]$2.75. Macmillan.
“Ten essays and addresses.... Half of them deal with scenery in its geological relations and in its influence on human progress.... They are entitled ‘Landscape in history,’ ‘Landscape and the imagination,’ ‘Landscape and literature,’ ‘The origin of the scenery of the British islands,’ and ‘The centenary of Hutton’s Theory of the earth.’ The others discuss the problem of the age of the earth, ‘Geological time’; two are biographical, ‘The life and letters of Charles Darwin’ and ‘Hugh Miller: his work and influence’; one deals with the place of science in modern education, and the book closes with a paper on the Roman campagna.”—N. Y. Times.
