Excerpt from The Geology of the Isle of Wight The onward progress of geological science during more than a quarter of a century since the first edition of the present Memoir appeared has not left the Isle of Wight unaffected. The geological formations on which the beauty of that fair Island so largely depends have been studied in great detail in all parts of the South of England, as well as in foreign countries. The coast sections of the Isle of Wight have even become subjects of discussion and controversy. When, therefore, the first edition of this Memoir was nearly exhausted, and it became necessary to undertake the preparation of a second edition, I felt that no satisfactory progress could be made in this task until the Map of the Island had been first revised and brought abreast of the present condition of Geology. The publication of the large Ordnance Survey Maps on the scale of six inches to a mile supplied for such a revision a far more accurate and convenient basis than was available at the time when the Island was originally mapped by the Geological Survey. Accordingly, Mr. Bristow, the Senior Director, to whom science is mainly indebted for the first Survey Map of the Isle of Wight, and for the Memoir descriptive of the structure of the Island, undertook the serious labour of superintending the preparation of new editions, both of Map and Memoir. In the following Prefatory Note supplied by him he has stated how this work has been carried on under his general supervision. The revision of the Map became in fact a re-survey of the Island, as all the lines were retraced on the ground. It is, however, due to Mr. Bristow to add that the main geological lines remain nearly as he mapped them more than 30 years ago. In the preparation of the present edition of the Memoir so many and important have been the changes required that the work might not unfairly be described as a new one. The revision alike of Map and Memoir has been made under Mr. Bristow's direction and with his co-operation, by two of the officers of the Survey, Mr. C. Reid, who took the tertiary area, and Mr. A. Strahan, who had assigned to him the Secondary Rocks. I have also myself personally visited the Island with Messrs, Reid and Strahan, and read over on the ground the proofs of the following chapters. I will here briefly mention some of the more important alterations and additions. In discussing the relations of the Wealden to the Upper Neocomian Rocks it is shown that these two groups are separated by a sharply-defined lithological demarcation, accompanied by a palæontological break.

Excerpt from The Geological Story of the Isle of Wight NO better district could be chosen to begin the study of Geology than the Isle of Wight. The splendid coast sections all round its shores, the variety of strata within so small an area, the great interest of those strata, the white chalk cliffs and the coloured sands, the abundant and interesting fossils to be found in the rocks, awaken in numbers of those who live in the Island, or visit its shores, a desire to know something of the story. Written in the rocks. The Isle of Wight is classic ground of Geology. From the early days of the science it has been made famous by the work of great students of Nature, such as Mantel], Buckland, Fitton, Sedgwick, Owen, Edward Forbes, and others, who have carried on the study up to the present day. Many of the strata are known to geologists everywhere as typical several bear the names of the Island localities, where they occur; some - and those not the least interesting - are not found beyond the limits of the Island. Though studied for so many years, there is no exhausting their interest new discoveries are constantly made, and new questions arise for solution. To those who have become interested in the rocks of the Island, and the fossils they have found in them, and who wish to learn how to read the story they tell, and to know something of that story, this book is addressed. It is in tended to be an introduction to the science of Geology, based on the Geology of the Isle of Wight, yet leading on to some glimpse of the history presented to us, when we take a wider outlook still, and try to trace the whole wondrous path of change from the world's beginning to the present day. I wish to express my warmest thanks to Miss Maud Neal for the beautiful drawings of fossils which illustrate the book, and to Professor Grenville A. J. Cole, f.r.s for his kindness in reading the manuscript, and for valuable suggestions received from him. I have also to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. H. J. Osborne White's new edition of the Memoir of the Geological Survey of the Isle of Wight, 1921 and to thank Mr. J. Milman Brown, of Shanklin, for the three photographs of Island scenery, showing features of marked geological interest, and Mr. C. E. Gilchrist, Librarian of the Sandown Free Library, for kindly reading the proofs of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
