Yet it would seem that to-day men are as much in ... Read more

    by Sir John William Dawson ...
    The science of the earth and the history of man, though cultivated by very different classes of specialists and in very different ways, must have their meeting-place.

The geologist, from his point of view, studies all the stratified crust of the ... Read more
