•' Not a novel in all the list of this year's publications has in it any pages of more 

 thrilling interest than can be found in this book by Professor Wright. There is noth- 

 ing pedantic in the narrative, and the most serious themes and startling discoveries are 

 treated with such charming naturalness and simplicity that boys and girls, as well as 

 their seniors, will be attracted to the story, and find it difficult to lay it aside, —hew 

 York Journal 0/ Co7niuerce. 



"One of the most absorbing and interesting of all the recent issues in the depart- 

 ment of popular science." — Chicago Herald. 



"Though his subject is a very deep one, his style is so very unaffected and per- 

 spicuous that even the unscientific reader can peruse it with intelligence and profit, .n 

 reading such a book we are led almost to wonder that so much that is scientihc can be 

 put in language so comparatively simple." — New York Observer. 



"The author has seen with his own eyes the most important phenomena of the Ice 

 age on this continent from Alaine to Alaska. In the work itself, elementary description 

 is combined with a broad, scientific, and philosophic method, without abandoning for 

 a moment the purely scientific character. Professor Wright has contrived to give tlie 

 whole a philosophical direction which lends interest and inspiration to it, and which in 

 the chapters on Man and the Glacial Period rises to something like dramatic intensity." 

 — The Indepcndefit. 



". . . To the great advance that has been made in late years in the accuracy and 

 cheapness of processes of photographic reproduction is due a further signal advantage 

 that Dr. Wright's work possesses over his predecessors'. He has thus been able to 

 illustrate most of the natural phenomena to which he refers by views taken in the field, 

 many of which have been genciously loaned by the United States Geological Survey, 

 in some rases from unpublished material ; and he has admirably supplemented them by 

 numerous maps and diagrams." — 7 he Nation.

AN AND THE GLACIAL PERIOD. By G. 

 Frederick Wright, D. D., LL. D., author of "The Ice 

 Age in North America," " Logic of Christian Evidences," etc. 

 No. 69, International Scientific Series. With numerous Illus- 

 trations. i2mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



Every one is interested in ancestry, yet the roots of family trees have not 

 struck down to the Glacial period, and we are left to wonder regarding the 

 manners and customs of our ancestors in the remote age of ice. Who and 

 what these ancestors were, is told us in simple, entertaining, popular style 

 by Professor Wright, and his fascinating narrative is re-enforced by a multi- 

 tude of illustrations.
