hat great book of nature, which is, as Lord
Bacon said of old, the Word of God revealed in facts--then I shall
have a fresh reason for loving that science of geology, which has
been my favourite study since I was a boy.

Footnotes:

{1} See "Nature," No. XXV. (Macmillan & Co.)

{2} These Lectures were delivered to the members of the Natural
Science Class at Chester in 1871.

{3} See a most charming paper on "The Physics of Arctic Ice," by Dr.
Robert Brown of Campster, published in the Quarterly Journal of the
Geological Society, June, 1870. This article is so remarkable, not
only for its sound scientific matter, but for the vividness and
poetic beauty of its descriptions, that I must express a hope that
the learned author will some day enlarge it, and publish it in a
separate form.

{4} See Lyell, "Antiquity of Man," p. 294 et seq.
