Excerpt from On the Definition of Geography as a Science: And on the Conception and Description of the Earth as an Organism IN this paper I propose briefly to indicate what, in my Opinion, Geo graphy requires to become a science - a rather limited science if it remains in its pure condition, a vast and comprehensive science if it consciously accepts the natural, fertile, and inevitable association with Geology. In these words, the Opinion is implied that Geography cannot, at the present moment, be considered as a science.'
