PREFACE
|
||
|
THE first edition of Stanford's Geological Atlas ... was
published in 1904. It was based in general plan, and
especially in regard to the maps, on Reynold's Geological
Atlas ... 1860 and 1889. The text, however, was entirely
re-written, ... descriptions of the geological features
observable along the main lines of railway were added.
|
||
|
A few of the original text-illustrations were retained;
others were borrowed from Sir Andrew C. Ramsay's Physical
Geology and Geography of Great Britain. The figures of
fossils were reproduced chiefly from Lowry's Tabular View of
Characteristic British Fossils; others were taken from the
Chart of Fossil Crustacea, arranged by J. W. Salter and Dr.
Henry Woodward, and a few from Ramsay's Physical Geology.
|
||
|
The maps in the original Atlas were based to a large extent
on those of the Geological Survey, and they have been
revised, as far as the scale has permitted, from the later
published maps of that institution.
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
The present edition has been amplified ... [little of
significance to Hampshire].
