Description
Excerpt from A Survey and Record of Woolwich and West Kent: Containing Descriptions and Records, Brought Up-to-Date, of the Geology, Botany, Zoology, Archælogy and Industries of the District, With a Brief Photographic Commentary, in Commemoration of the 12th Annual Congress, 1907, of the South Eastern Union of Sci
The volume now produced differs in important respects from that announced in the original Introduction circulated with sample pages at the Woolwich Congress. The sections on Geology and Scientific Industries are on the plan originally contemplated. The Archaeological section, owing to special difficulties, falls short Of the original intention. But, on the other hand, very much valuable material was contributed for the Botanical and Zoological sections, and a great opportunity would have been lost if it had not been embodied. These sections have in consequence become greatly extended, and the Handbook has grown into a volume Of some 600 pages.
It was hoped to insert an introductory chapter by Mr. C. H Grinling, Work waiting to be done - a Survey Of Surveys, giving an account Of the material available for workers for surveys Of the district from other aspects than those covered in this volume, particularly on the human and sociological side as well as pointing out the gaps that remain in the subjects already treated inviting the research Of the local student, and sketching main lines Of advance indicated by foremost workers in the different sciences. The publication of this volume has been delayed in order that thischapter might be included, in the belief that it would have linked together and illuminated the other sections, and have proved a guide and incentive to workers, Often scattered and out of touch with one another. The material accumulated through a long period had already been arranged.
