Since the publication of the writer's The Fundamentals of Geology, there has been a growing demand for a textbook based on the principles there stated. The presentation of such a treatise, however, involving the actual reconstruction of the whole science, has been no easy task. The present volume is only a tentative effort along this line.

The name of the present volume is not meant as a challenge; but it is meant as the designation of a method which the author believes is here employed for the first time in a geological textbook. Whether the author has always succeeded or not, the effort has at least been made to keep facts and theories clear and distinct; and where alternative hypotheses are possible and permissible, these alternatives are openly stated, and the reader is advised to take his choice.
