Sir Arthur Help History.on PREFACE Although the discoveries which are related in volume have there isthis been already published, yet to be considered the large number of readers who feed in the intermediate regions between the arid highlands and mountain ascents of scientific memoirs, and the lush—not to say rank—marsh-meadows of the novel and literature of amusement. Those, then, who wish to grasp the substance of the results, without the precision of the details, are the public for whom this and Iis written ; trust that, out of consideration for their feelings, hardly a single measurement or rigid statement can be found here from cover to cover. Any one who wants detail can find it in the various annual volumes which have already appeared.
