Book Description

Excerpt from Agricultural Geology This book has been written, after study of the schedule framed for the guidance of candidates for the International Diploma of Agriculture, to be used by students who are reading for examinations in Agriculture, though it may be found useful to others. The writer has utilised the descriptions of the soils formed above the various British strata which are given in Mr. H. B. Woodward's admirable Geology of England and Wales, to which he refers his readers for further information concerning the British strata. He also offers his thanks to the author of that work for leave to make use of those descriptions. The writer's thanks are also due to Mr. R. Etheridge, F. R. S., and to Messrs. Charles Griffin and Co., who are respectively editor and publishers of the late Professor Phillips' Manual of Geology, for permission to use the Geological Map of the British Isles which is inserted in that work. This map, with slight alterations, forms the frontispiece to the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
