scientifically tested in its bearings on Geogony, Geography, Geology, 

 Climatology, Palieontology, Botany, Zoology, Anthropology, &c. ; in I'arts 

 IV. and V. a confirmation of the hypothesis by ethnic tradition ; and, finally, 

 in Part VI., we have the significance of these results. 



The book is a serious and sincere attempt to present what to the Author's 

 mind is the true and final solution of one of the greatest and most fascinating 

 of all the problems connected with the history of mankind, and as such 

 deserves careful reading ; and whilst exhibiting much deep research, it is 

 written in a pleasant and readable style. 



Dissertations on the Philosophy of the Creation, 



and the first Ten Chapters of Genesis Allegorised in Mythology. Containing 

 Expositions of the Ancient Cosmogonies and Theogonies, the Invention of 

 Hieroglyphics, and of the Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet. By 

 William Galloway, M.A., Ph.D., M.D. ; pp. XVI.— 663. (Edinburgh: 

 James Gemmell ; London : Hamilton, Adams, and Co., 1885.) 



The Author of this interesting work gives us the result of a profound 

 study of Mythology, considered in the first place from an enquiry into the 

 origin of writing, Alphabetic and Hieroglyphic ; and next its place is assigned 

 in the Phcenician, Romo-Pelasgian, and Greek Theogonies. An instructive 

 comparison of the Celtic, Semetic, and Runic alphabets are given in two plates.

 intents and purposes become conjoined with religion, and work hand in hand 

 with it ; an event which we believe all earnest men devoutly hope for.

This little work contains elementary problems on those portions of Kine- 

 matics, Statics, and Dynamics, usually included in various preliminary

 the answers, so far as we have tested them, are correct.
