n ages, and closes with a discussion of the theories
of the appearance, late in geological time, of man upon the
earth. Dr. Dawson's sketch of paleontology will, we feel
sure, be found interesting by all readers.--_Athenaeum_,
London.
Since Hugh Miller's time no scientific geologist has done
more than Principal Dawson to extend popular interest in
this branch of study, to secure attention to its educational
value, or to remove misapprehensions which exist in some
quarters as to the relations of science and Scripture on
geological questions.--_Leisure Hour_, London.
We have read his book with profound interest. It is
intelligible, candid, modest.--_Boston Transcript._
