About this ebook
The British Association prepared the Handbook of Birmingham for the Advancement of Science. The association put it together for the use of the members of the British Association at their meeting in Birmingham that took place in 1886.
It was prefaced by a concise sketch of the progress of the town since the first meeting of the Association in 1839, a period that was only three years short of half a century. The Handbook contains an introduction by G.J. Johnson.

Geology and Physiography, edited by Prof. C. Lapworth, LL.D., F.G.S
