Note 3 — Chapter VI · EXTINCT VOLCANOES OF CENTRAL FRANCE.
Reading edition
In this visit to Auvergne in the summer of 1880, the author was accompanied by his son, Dr. E. Gordon Hull, and Sir Robert S. Ball. On reaching the station at the summit of the ridge it seemed as if the volcanic fires had again been lighted, for the whole sky was aglow with the rays of the western sun.
