"Whether it is taught or not taught in Schools and Universities, Geography must in the nature of things rule the territory in which the sciences relating to organic life from history down to the structure of the humblest animate thing, meet the sciences which have to do with inorganic nature.... It remains the body of knowledge which has to do with the theatre of the activity of man, and all things that have life."
Anniversary address of Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff, 1892
President of the Royal Geographical Society
