IV.—Sir Henry H. Howorth and the Glaciation of Norway

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Few will deny that whatever comes from the pen of Sir Henry Howorth is always interesting and original, whether the reader agrees with it or otherwise. This is especially the case when he has a theory to build up or to overturn, and in the latter case he not only tries to knock over his antagonist, but he discharges at him volleys of brilliant verbiage with the view to his utter annihilation.
