Excerpt from Volcanoes: What They Are and What They Teach

The woodcuts which illustrate the volume are in some cases prepared from photographs, and I am in debted to Mr. Cooper for the skill with which he has carried out my wishes concerning their reproduction. Others among the engravings are copies of sketches which I made in Italy, Hungary, Bohemia, and other volcanic districts. The whole of the wood-blocks em ployed by Mr. Poulett Scrape in his work on Volcanoes were placed at my disposal before his death, and such of them as were useful for my purpose I have freely employed. To Captain S. P. Oliver, ila, I am obliged for a beautiful drawing made in the Island of Bourbon, and to Mr. Norman Lockyer and his publishers. Messrs. Macmillan Co., for the use of several wood-blocks illustrating sun-spots and solar prominences.
