Excerpt from Man and the Earth These pages. They thus lack the apparent authority which such a presentation would have given them. It would have been a matter of no great difficulty to have carried out my original plan and to have filled many pages with such matter. The truth is, however, that although the earth's stores of value to men can be estimated in general terms there is as yet no sufficient basis for accurate quantitative reckonings. Thus while we can clearly foresee that the store of coal is certain to be so far exhausted within two or three centuries that it will have no considerable place in the arts, we cannot estimate the amount of this fuel with anything like statistical accuracy. Thus it is that the statements in this book should be taken as the judgments of an observer who has endeavored to inform himself as to the resources of the earth of value to men, who is confident that in the general terms in which these opinions are stated they have value as guides to conduct.

Excerpt from Earth's First Man When these writers cannot agree among themselves but put forth assumptions, theories, hypotheses and speculations that conflict with our intuitions and common sense, we know enough to know that this is not science but something baseless and false. We accept as true that which is proved to be true, but we demand of those who bring against the supernatural origin of man objections from science to prove, first of all, that that which they call science is genuine science, not simply an induction, an hypothesis. A theory, a conception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Earth and Man: Lectures on Comparative Physical Geography, in Its Relation to the History of Mankind This brief history of the present book will place the reader in a position to form a just Opinion of the work, and per haps will induce him to extend to it some indulgence. It will, moreover, be readily understood, that oral instruction is naturally clothed in forms appropriate to itself, which are not those of a systematic and didactic exposition, such as is required by a book intended only for reading, or for the silent study of the closet. In the Opinion of the author, it should bring out in strong relief, even by venturing a dash of the pencil somewhat bold, the essential traits of the subject, in order to fix and deep en the impression, while the secondary features are thrown into the shade. 'truth, far from losing by this mode, will gain the advantage of being grasped in a manner at once more distinct, and more correct. For nothing is less indispensable to true sci ence, - may the reader of these pages find it so, - than the scho lastic and doctoral robe, which is too often unnecessarily worn. This little work is not then a treatise on the subject indicated by its title the author would wish to consider this unforeseen publication, only as the forerunner of a more complete work, the materials of which, gradually collected during long years of study, and still daily accumulating, he hopes to arrange, and work out more at leisure, if not in the same form, at least in the same Spirit. However, he is confident that the man of science will find in this first sketch, the traces of serious and matured studies.
