Excerpt from Earth, Sea and Sky, or Marvels of the Universe: Being a Full and Graphic Description of All That Is Wonderful in Every Continent of the Globe, in the World of Waters and the Starry Heavens, Containing Thrilling Adventures on Land and Sea
A natural division has been made according to the three great divi sions Of the universe, earth, sea, and sky, and the result is a combina tion of Three Books in one Volume.
In the first part of the work the reader is conducted through the coun tries and climes Of the whole world. He is even led back to periods be fore the advent Of man. The ancient world with its vast forests, remark able deluges, strange animals and gigantic upheavals rises before him. He sees immense quadrupeds and birds, more monstrous than any of the imaginary creatures Of Old mythology.
Coming down to a later period the reader visits the famous countries of the globe, climbs the mountain ranges Of Asia, stands on Alps piled on Alps, witnesses burning volcanoes, extinct craters, terrible avalanches and landslides, moving glaciers, earthquakes that swallow cities with thousands Of their inhabitants, the brilliant aurora painted on the northern sky, and the fatal ravages Of cyclones, and tornadoes. The marvelous relics that are discovered under the microscope, together with living creatures are computed by tens Of thousands to the square inch.
