Excerpt from Papers and Notes on the Glacial Geology of Great Britain and Ireland I must, however, venture to set aside the injunction laid upon me to criticise as well as arrange and edit. In the first place, Professor Lewis' own opinions and the grounds upon which he held them are the matters of supremest importance and, in the second place, he states his case SO powerfully as to render a further investigation of the debatable points at issue absolutely unnecessary.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
