We do not think that we are wide of the mark in saying that the two
volumes of Reclus's— " The Earth " and " The Ocean "—come nearer to sup-
plying a real physical geography of the globe than any work or works in the
English language.

For thorough research, rich attainments, and graphic style, M. Reclus
holds high rank among the scientists of the day. It should be borne in
mind that this work and its predecessor are written not for those already
thoroughly versed in science, so much as for that much larger class of per-
sons who seek to relieve the monotony of daily routine by the acquisition of
some degree of knowledge, and who need books which, while accurate and in
some sense profound, shall be free from technicalities and open to general
understanding. Such books M. Reclus has furnished in these two volumes,
which, taken jointly, cover a wide range of discussion.
