Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District: With Atlas I have in many places departed from the severe ascetic style which has become conventional in scientific monographs. Perhaps no apology is called for. Under ordinary circumstances the ascetic discipline is necessary. Give the imagination an inch and it is apt to take an ell, and the funda mental requirement of scientific method - accuracy of statement - is im periled. But. In the Grand Canon district there is no such danger. The stimulants which are demoralizing elsewhere are necessary here to exalt the mind sufficiently to comprehend the sublimity of the subjects. Their sublimity has in fact been hitherto underrated. Great as is the fame of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, the half remains to be told.
