"The best mode of exciting the love of observation is by teaching 'Howto Observe.' With this end it was originally intended to produce, in oneor two volumes, a series of hints for travellers and students, callingtheir attention to the points necessary for inquiry or observation inthe different branches of Geology, Natural History, Agriculture, theFine Arts, General Statistics, and Social Manners. On consideration,however, it was determined somewhat to extend the plan, and to separatethe great divisions of the field of observation, so that those whosetastes led them to one particular branch of inquiry might not beencumbered with other parts in which they do not feel an equalinterest."

The preceding passage is contained in the notice accompanying the firstwork in this series—Geology, by Mr. De la Bèche, published in 1835.Thus, the second work in the series is in continuation of the plan aboveannounced.
