Shall we Teach Geology? A Discussion of the Proper 

 Place of Geology in Modern Education. By Alexander Winchell, A.M., 

 LL.D., F.G.S.A., etc. Cr. 8vo, pp. x.— 217. (Chicago, U.S.A. : S. C. 

 Griggs and Co. 1889.) 



Dr. Winchell thinks that the proper position of Geology is very much 

 under-estimated in the Schools of the United States. The same may, we fear, 

 be said of it here. He therefore seeks, in the book before us, to set forth 

 the value of geologic study as he estimates it, as he feels it, and as he has 

 learned it by much practice in the teaching of a wide range of subjects.
