Excerpt from A Manual of Elementary Geology: Or the Ancient Changes of the Earth and Its Inhabitants In consequence of the rapid sale of lie third edition of the "Manual," of which 2000 copies were printed in January last, a new edition has been called for in lees than a twelvemonth. Even in this short interval some new facts of unusual importance in paleontology have come to light, or have been verified for the first time. Instead of introducing these new discoveries into the body of the work, which would render them inaccessible to the purchasers of the former edition, I have given them in a postscript to this Preface (printed and sold separately), and have pointed out at the same time their bearing on certain questions of the highest theoretical interest.

In subsequent editions this book was omitted, it having been expanded, in 1838, into a separate treatise called the "Elements of Geology," first re-edited in 1842, and again recast and enlarged in 1851, and entitled "A Manual of Elementary Geology." Although the subjects of both treatises relate to geology, as their titles imply, their scope is very different; the "Principles" containing a view of the modem changes of the earth and its inhabitants, while the "Manual" relates to the monuments of ancient changes. In separating the one from the other, I have endeavored to render each complete in itself, and independent; but if asked by a student which he should read first, .
