Description
Excerpt from The Geography of New Zealand: Historical, Physical, Political, and Commercial
It was with the idea Of describing New Zealand, according to the spirit of the new Geography, that this book was written.
Professor Gregory, the editor of the series of State Geographies, has contributed the Introduction and a chapter on the Geysers. The views stated by him are not in all cases fully upheld in the body of the work. For this the author is wholly responsible. The sudden removal of Professor Gregory to Scotland entirely prevented the possibility of transmitting the proof sheets for his perusal. Thus some matter has crept into the physical portion of the book that certainly would not have received his approval. This is most prominent in regard to the in?uence of the erosion of ice on the land forms of New Zealand. Conclusions are given that are based on the author''s own observations combined with those of American observers and of Professor Penek, in Germany.
