WONDERS OF CREATION:
A DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT OF
VOLCANOES AND THEIR PHENOMENA.
"The mountains quake at Him and the hills melt and the earth is
burned at His presence"--NAHUM 1:5
1872
PREFACE
Being intended for the Young, this work treats of Volcanoes only in
a popular way. Scientific details and philosophical speculations
are accordingly avoided. Nevertheless, a perusal of the following
pages may so stimulate the curiosity of youthful minds, that some,
on attaining to riper years and more mature understanding, may be
inspired with a longing to inquire more deeply into this
interesting subject. They may be stimulated to investigate, in a
philosophical spirit, all the marvellous facts and phenomena
connected with volcanic agency, and to speculate on their causes
and modes of operation. Some also, on reaching their manhood, may
be induced to ascend one or more of the nearer active volcanoes,
and examine their phenomena for themselves.
