Preface.
HE Voice of Ocean is constantly discoursing of many interesting and stirring truths and events to those who are disposed to listen.
The particular discourse recorded in this volume is that which treats chiefly of the causes and effects of those grand oceanic and atmospheric currents which modify the climates of the Earth, and diversify the face of Nature from the Equator to the Poles.
Our information has been gathered from many sources—chief among which we may mention that delightful book, "Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea."
