Opis: The Geology of Sydney, and the Blue Mountains - Curran Rev. J. Milne

Excerpt from The Geology of Sydney, and the Blue Mountains: A Popular Introduction to the Study of Geology

This little book is a practical reply to a number of persons who repeatedly ask the writer for some information on the Geology of Sydney and the Mountains. The only possible reply has hitherto been to refer them to a number of reports buried away in Blue Books, or to scientific papers scattered through the proceedings of various learned societies. Many of these papers and reports are now out of print. As stores of scientific knowledge, they are invaluable, but they have not proved inviting to the public generally.

In the chapters now presented to my readers, I have done little more than collect some of the scattered information referred to; but I may claim that the method of presenting the subject is my own. Primarily, I have considered the needs of the general reader, at the same time bearing in mind the wants of the student. The book, small as it is, would be impossible were it not for the labours of three eminent geologists, now alas! no longer amongst us - Clarke, Wilkinson, and Tenison-Woods. I have also drawn on the writings of Mr. Robert Etheridge, junr., Curator of the Australian Museum, Professor David, of the University of Sydney, and Mr. Pittman, the Government Geologist.
