I can't get in to the library today, but I checked the web page http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v32/n832/index.html and the article/review is in the middle of a section titled: The British Association: Section C—Geology- p555.
Clicking on that link get a teaser which starts out with:
"Some Results of a Detailed Survey of the Old Coast-Lines near Trondhjem. Norway, by Hugh Miller, F.G. S., H.M. Geological Survey.-During a short visit to Norway in October, 1884, it appeared to the author that the best way to help to a solution of the vexed questions connected with the coast-terracing of Norway was to execute a careful survey of a few square miles of some suitable coast-region upon a sufficiently large scale."
and a notice that one needs to log in or purchase the article if one wants to see it. Alas, UTAS doesn't have on-line access to Nature before the 1990's, so I can't see more of it, but the above snippet doesn't sound as much like a review as the one I typed up yesterday, and it has the same style of ___title____, by __author, alphabet soup, affiliations____, making me wonder if a) they are both reviews, or b) neither of them are, or c) the first is and the second isn't.
I did check and while UTAS does have an intro to geology book that Lapworth wrote, it doesn't have one on the highland controversy. I put in a document delivery request, and let them know that I want it because this article (citation provided) looks like a review, and I want more details from the book, if it exists. Perhaps they will be able to find me a copy. They found the book on Pictish stone carvings in Scotland published in the early 1900's when I asked for it, though in that case it was a more recent facsimile they actually obtained.
