by Lee, J. S.
London: Thomas Murby, 1939. First edition, 8vo, pp. xv, [1], 528; double-page map, folding map, numerous figures in the text; binding a little dull, early owner's inscription in Chinese on title page with chopmark, and pithy quote on front free endpaper, but generally a very good, sound copy in original blue cloth. "The book grew out of lectures by the author in British universities 1934-35 under the auspices of the Universities China Committee in London. It contains much valuable material, especially for those who want a rapid oversight of China's geology before studying intensively from sources of detailed information" (review in Science, Oct. 4, 1940).
