Please add an original publication date: 1894 (source: https://www.nytimes.com/1894/12/01/ar... https://www.georgebayntun.com/antiqua...)

Please set as default description and replace existing generic descriptions (adapted from jstor.org/stable/1773796?read-now=1&a...

Originally published in two volumes and subtitled “An Introduction to the Limestone and Chalk Plateaux of Ancient Aquitaine,” <i>The Deserts of Southern France</i> gives an overview of what at the time was seen as one of the most remarkable and least-appreciated regions of Europe. Commencing with an account of the Causses, Baring-Gould discusses the most recent contributions in underground geography, then moves to the historical aspects of the caves of south central France from the time of their prehistoric tenants, and with this as a text diverges far over the field of folklore, returning again to the facts of more recent history and the personal interests of this land full of memories. It was intended to be read in preparation for visitors, not a substitute for personal study of the country, and appeals to the artist, the antiquarian, the geologist, the explorer, and the historian.

Please create a series:
