Upon the endowment of the late Lord Gilford for a chair in each of 

 the Scottish Universities for teaching natural theology, defined to be 

 " the knowledge of God, the Infinite, the All, the first and only cause, 

 the one and Sole Substance, the Sole Being, the Sole Reality, and the 

 Sole Existence, the Knowledge of His Nature and Attributes, the 

 Knowledge of the Relations which men and the whole universe bear to 

 Him, the Knowledge of the Nature and Foundation of Ethics and Mor- 

 als, and of all Obligations and Duties hence arising," Max Muller was 

 elected to fill the chair in Glasgow for the first time. His lectures ou 

 Natural Religion ui)on this foundation are now published and form one 

 of the important contributions of the year. 



X.— MAN AND NATURE. 



The study of the earth iu its relation to man continues in two direc- 

 tions, the investigation of man's relation to geology and the accumula- 

 tion of knowledge concerning climatology and the earthly forces etfect- 

 ual iu human fecundity, longevity, vigor, health, etc. The most puz- 

 zling enigma of the year has been previously mentioned, the finding at 

 Nampa, Idaho, of an image over 300 feet beneath the surface. There 

 is just enough of uncertainty^ about this discovery to keep the matter 

 forever in dispute. A mucli more solid foundation for argument is laid 

 in the diggings of Mr. Holmes on Piney Branch, in the District of Co- 

 lumbia, where the ordinates of correct deduction were furnished by fol- 

 lowing the original horizontal stratum and by the perijendicular face of 

 the bowlder bed. 

 A few titles are herewith appended to show the drift of investigation: 

 Acclimation at Panaum, Verni;d. Climate of tropical Africa, Vir- 

 chow. Glacial period, Falsau. Man and nature, theories transformistes, 

 de Quatrefages. The world's supply of fuel, McGee.
