Excerpt from The Student's Lyell: The Principles and Methods of Geology, as Applied to the Investigation of the Past History of the Earth and Its Inhabitants
In spite of the expansion of the text and the intro duction into it of more than one hundred new illustrations, it has nevertheless been found possible, by using smaller type for certain portions, to avoid increasing the bulk or the cost of the volume. It is hoped, moreover, that this employ ment of different kinds of type will afford some assistance to the student. The beginner is advised, in his first perusal of the work, to devote his attention mainly to the portions printed in larger type; and afterwards, in entering upon its more serious study, to read the whole through continuously. It may be well to mention, too, that although, for the very cogent reasons urged by Lyell (see p. It is desirable in the first instance to study the newer and less altered strata before the older and greatly metamorphosed rocks, yet, in revising his studies at a later period, the reader may find it advantageous to take up the several systems in historical order.
