and Mrs. Young among the Cree and Salteaux tribes of North American

 have been productive of much good. The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse has written

 Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S., etc. Crown 8vo, pp. xii.— 411. (London: 

 Hodder and Stoughton. 1890.) Price 7s. 6d. 



We are pleased to find that this very readable work has reached a tenth 

 edition. In it the writer treats of the science of the earth as illustrated by 

 geological research, divested as far as possible of merely local colouring, and of 

 the prejudices of specialists. 



The fifteen chapters into which the book is divided, treat first of the 

 Genesis of the earth, then of the different Geologic Ages, and finally of Primitive 

 Man.

 Crown 8vo, pp. 240. (London : The Religious Tract vSociety. 1890.) 



This is another work by the same author. He tells us its object is to 

 examine in a popular manner, and to test by scientific facts and principles, the 

 validity of that multiform and brilliant philosophy of the universe, which has 

 taken so firm a hold of the science and literature of our time. 



The writer divides his subject into ten chapters, which treat of The Present 

 Aspects of Evolution, The Origin of Life, The Appearance of species in Geo- 

 logic time, Monistic, Agnostic, and Theistic Evolution, God in Nature, Man in 

 Nature, etc., etc.

 language the Thames, Severn, Tyne, Yorkshire Ouse, and the Humber. The 

 four introductory chapters treat of What becomes of a shower, Underground 

 Fairies, Seas and Rivers, etc. It is very nicely illustrated.

635. (London : Geo. Routledge and Sons.) Price is.
