 Phenomena. In 2 Vols, foolscap 8vo. ; with numerous Illustrations and

 Edition. Price 14s. 



" Dr. Mantell's Wonders of Geology will continue to be a favourite work, 

 equally in the geological schools, in the private study, and in the family circle. 

 It may be read and understood by any intelligent and educated individual. Its 

 exact science, sound logic, and dignity of style, ensure its acceptance with the 

 learned; its elegance, beauty, and perspicuity, with the polite and refined; and 

 its comprehensive brevity with the student of the elements of geology. It realises, 

 indeed, our beau-ideal of a familiar, yet dignified, philosophical style ; being alike 

 condensed and luminous, possessing a graceful and flowing eloquence, and rising, 

 as the subject may require, into the sublime as well as the beautiful. We are not 

 aware of the existence of any work, in any department of science, which has 

 higher claims at once to a place in the library of a philosopher, and on the table 

 of a refined family. — {Review of the Fourth London and First American Edition
