I.—A Ramble Across the Mendip Hills

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Many of those interested in geology are by time generally forbidden, and perhaps by inclination equally restricted from the investigation of details on a holiday trip. Nor need this be regretted, for the greatest pleasure in science is not always to be gained by the examination of details, but rather in the contemplation of results derived from such an examination.
