To A. C. Ramsay 12 July [1864]
Summary
Thanks for his book [Physical geology and geography of Great Britain, 2d. ed. (1864)].
Pleased that ACR’s glacial lake theory is progressing. New Zealand lakes support the view. Suggests he write to Charles Gould in Tasmania, calling his attention to glacial action.
