Excerpt from The Geology of Water-Supply Our great educational centres have grasped the importance of geology in its economic aspect, and the books of this series are designed in the first place for students of economic geology. It is believed, however, that they will be found useful to the student of general geology, and also to miners, surveyors, and others who are concerned with the practical applications of the science. 'The Geology of Coal and Coal-Mining,' by Dr. Walcot Gibson, and 'The Geology of Ore Deposits,' by Messrs. H. H. Thomas and D. A. MacAlister, have already appeared. Other volumes will follow. The author of the present work, late Assistant Director of the Geological Survey of England and Wales, has long been an authority on water-supply, having had many years' practical acquaintance with the principal water-bearing strata of the island, and with the requirements of engineers and well-sinkers in connection with the subject.
