[Transcriber's note: All footnotes are renumbered and moved to the end of the text before the index.] THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD, ACCORDING TO REVELATION AND SCIENCE. BY J. W. DAWSON, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S., PRINCIPAL AND VICE-CHANCELLOR OF M'GILL UNIVERSITY, MONTREAL; AUTHOR OF "ACADIAN GEOLOGY," "THE STORY OF THE EARTH AND MAN," "LIFE'S DAWN ON EARTH," ETC. "Speak to the Earth, and it shall teach thee." --_Job._ [Illustration] NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, FRANKLIN SQUARE. 1877. TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUFFERIN, K.P., K.C.B., ETC., GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA, _This Work is Respectfully Dedicated_, AS A SLIGHT TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM TO ONE WHO GRACES THE HIGHEST POSITION IN THE DOMINION OF CANADA BY HIS EMINENT PERSONAL QUALITIES, HIS REPUTATION AS A STATESMAN AND AN AUTHOR, AND HIS KIND AND ENLIGHTENED PATRONAGE OF EDUCATION, LITERATURE, AND SCIENCE. PREFACE. The scope of this work is in the main identical with that of "Archaia," published in 1860; but in attempting to prepare a new edition brought up to the present condition of the subject, it was found that so much required to be rewritten as to make it essentially a new book, and it was therefore decided to give it a new name, more clearly indicating its character and purpose. The intention of this new publication is to throw as much light as possible on the present condition of the much-agitated questions respecting the origin of the world
