Excerpt from Records of the Geological Survey of India, Vol. 12 IN the report for a year that has been comparatively unproductive of fresh work, I have to record, as compensation, the completion of the Manual of the Geology of India. The two facts are, indeed, closely connected: The Manual is principally - readers will often find cause to regret that it is not all - the work of Mr. Blanford, who was thereby prevented from taking the field in the open season of 1877-78. When results are to be measured by the knowledge gained from the study of obscure facts, many circumstances affect the tale of progress, which depends more Upon the study than upon the accumulation of what are called observations. Geology has sufiered much from the delusion that the two offices can be separated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
