Abstract
A SENTENCE from this book could appropriately be its device: “Personally I never feel safe of my foothold, when I try to follow … into the dim recesses of the past; but this does not lessen my admiration”. Like the reviewer, one may not agree with the theoretical considerations regarding the structure of the Alpine mountain ranges, but one must appreciate the work done by the French and Swiss explorers.
