Excerpt from The Scenery of Scotland Viewed in Connexion With Its Physical Geology No one may venture to write on the subjects discussed in this volume without first studying what has been written upon them by Professor Ramsay. To his papers, but still more to many long dis eussions with him by the fireside and among the hills, and to the stimulus from contact with a mind so original in conception, and so marked for its faculty of grasping at once the details and the broad bearings of a question, it is a pleasure to express my obligations.
