Letters and Extracts from the Addresses and Occasional Writings of J. Beete Jukes, M.A., F.R.S., F.G.S.

Joseph Beete Jukes (1811-1869) was a Cambridge-trained geologist involved in expeditions to Newfoundland and Australia, and surveys in Britain and Ireland. This book, edited by his sister and published in 1871, gives a vivid impression of Jukes' boundless energy and his enthusiasm for his subject.
