About this book
Dedicated to Sir John Herschel, Mary Somerville's survey of the earth's physical features comes from the author of The Connexion of the Physical Sciences and The Mechanism of the Heavens. This is the Philadelphia printing of 1850, taken from her revised London edition. Her new preface says the text draws on the second volume of Humboldt's Cosmos and on recent research in the Himalaya and in Peru and Bolivia. The American editor added a glossary of scientific and technical terms, prepared by Dr. Ruschenberger, and some bracketed notes.
