DE. BrcKLAiTD, at a meeting of the British Association, said he had never been so much aston- 

 ished in his life, by the powers of any man, as he had been by the geological descriptions of Mr. 

 Miller. That wonderful man described these objects with a facility which made him ashamef of 

 the comparative meagreness and poverty of his own descriptions in the " Bridgewater Treatise," 

 which had cost him hours and days of labor. He would give his left hand to possess such power* 

 of description as this man ; and if it pleased Providence to spare his useful life, he, if any one, 

 would certainly render science attractive and popular, and do equal service to theology and geology. 



* Mr. Miller's style is remarkably pleasing ; his mode of popularizing geological knowledge nn 

 ourpassed, perhaps unequalled; and the deep reverence for Divine Revelation pervading all, addi 

 interest and value to the volume," New York Com. Advertiser. 



" The publishers have again covered themselves with honor, by giving to the American public, 

 with the Author's permission, an elegant reprint of a foreign work of science. We earnestly 

 bespeak far this work a wide and free circulation, among all who love science much and religion 

 more." Puritan Recorder. 



THE OLD RED SANDSTONE ; or, New Walks in an Old Field. By HUGH MILLER 

 Illustrated with Plates and Geological Sections. 12mo, .................. cloth,.... 1,00 



"Mr. Miller's exceedingly interesting book on this formation is just the sort of work to render 

 any subject popular. It is written in a remarkably pleasing style, and contains a wonderful 

 amount of information." Westminster Review. 



" It is withal, one of the most beautiful specimens of English composition to be found, coivey- 

 ing information on a most difficult and profound science, in a style at once novel, pleasing and 

 elegant. It contains the results of twenty years close observation and experiment, resulting in an 

 accumulation of facts, which not only dissipate some dark and knotty old theories with regard to 

 ancient formations, but establish the great truths of geology in more perfect and harmonious con- 

 sistency with the great truths of revelation." Albany Spectator.

" This work places us in possession of information half a century in advance of all our elemi-!> 

 tary works on this subject. * * No work of the same dimensions has ever appeared in the 

 English language, containing so much new and valuable information on the subject of which It 

 teats." Prof. James Hall, in the Albany Journal. 



"A work emanating from so high a source hardly requires commendation to give it currency. 

 The volume is prepared for the student in zoological science ; it is simple and elementary in itJ 

 tyle, full in its illustrations, comprehensive in its range, yet well condensed, and brought into the 

 arrow compass requisite for the purpose intended." Silliman's Journal. 



" The work may safely be recommended as the best book of the kind in our language." CTkrw- 

 ttcM Examiner. 



u It is not a mere book, but a work a real work in the form of a book. Zoology is 

 cience, and here is treated with a masterly hand. The history, anatomical structure, the nature 

 and habits of numberless animals, are described in clear and plain language and illustrated with 

 innumerable engravings. It is a work adapted to colleges and schools, and no young man should 

 be without it." Scientific American.
