TESTIMONIALS. 



*'It is an excellent work." — Rev. J. W. Hanson, D. D. 



''A small book on a great subject. We have been particularly 

 struck with the large accumulation of facts, the clear and concise 

 manner in which they are arranged, and the modest manner in which 

 conclusions are stated and applied. The writer deals in none of the 

 offensive dogmatism of science, but gives successive statements 

 of the facts <7er»iaMe to the subject, compiled with great care from 

 more ambitious works, allowing very largely the facts themselves to 

 indicate the conclusions. The work is a highly useful compilation, 

 and puts in brief compass the facts of recent science on the inter- 

 esting subject." — Rev. J. S. Canticell, D. D. 



*' Whether we at once fall in with the author's views or not, this 

 work has great merit. In fact, it is the most instructive book upon 

 this subject — the natural history of the human race — we have ever 

 read. No one can fail to be interested in reading this book ; and 

 when you begin to read it, you will not quit till through ; and when 

 once read, you will want to read it again." — The American Medical 

 Journal. 



" We heartily welcome this book. It popularizes for the general 

 reader the grand facts and discoveries appertaining to the science ; 

 and gives him, in simple language, the evidence on which some 

 of the most profound minds of the day have been irresistibly led to 

 the conclusion that our world is a very old world, dating back not 

 merely tens of thousands, but probably millions of years, and that 

 tens of thousands are required to measure the duration of man upon 

 it." — Henry Howe, The Historian of Ohio. 



"As the title indicates, this volume is an attempt to present in 

 sj'uoptical form the evidences geological, archaeological, historical, 

 and physiological, bearing on man's existence upon the earth. He 

 adopts the view of a pre-historic rudimentary condition from which 

 man slowly emerged by a process of intellectual and moral develop- 

 ment, which view his array of data appears to warrant. The book 

 is neatly illustrated with portraits of scientists, and views of inter- 

 esting human relics which investigation has brought to light." — 

 Fhrenoloyical Journal. 



" The ordinary reader is so often confronted w^ith scientific dis- 

 cussions and quotations from elaborate treatises upon what is known 

 of Primitive Man, that a pressing need has been created for an 

 epitome or an abridged account of our race in the earlier and savage 

 state. This want has been happily supplied by Mac Lean's Manual 

 of the Antiquity of Man. The work furnishes every fact and 

 rational idea in regard to the physical condition and surroundings 

 of Primitive Man, and brings together in compact form, what would 

 require much time, and cost^of books, to obtain in any other way."

 stitute, and Curator of Comparative Anatomy to the Natural His- 

 tory Society of Cincinnati.
