Geology for Engineers (Classic Reprint)

References to geology which are often of the greatest practical importance are often almost hidden away or treated in an obscure fashion, whereas the engineer requires the needful information to be put before him in a clear and concise manner. To meet this want I have endeavoured to compile the requisite information in one volume, in the hope that it may serve as a handy book of reference. I am greatly indebted to the various authors and publishers of the books mentioned in the accompanying list for so kindly allowing me to take such extracts as I required, and desire to record my grateful thanks toP rofessors Lapworth, Cole, and Bauerman, and Mr Hayden of the Geological Survey of I ndia, for their kind help and encouragement. These extracts are referred to by a number at the end of each quotation corresponding with the number in the accompanying list. R. F. SORSBIE. January
