“This is the first modern presentation of the geology of the State of Victoria, and the most detailed and elaborate yet produced.  It provides an epoch by epoch examination of the rocks and their story, as well as a history of their study, and an assessment of their economic importance.
It is envisaged that it will not only be an essential handbook for the local professional geologist, but a text for the student ,and a much referred-to guide for all those who want instruction on the geology of this State.
There are numerous illustrations and indexes, and a bonus in the form of new full-coloured geological map incorporating the latest Mines Department survey.”
