Extracts, from English und American notices of the Monthly American Journal 

 of Geology und Natural Science. 



"Of the design, as expressed in the prospectus, which contains some can- 

 did remiirks on the state of the cultivation of natural histoiy in the United 

 States, we hig'hly approve. Of the execution also, we are happy to express 

 our approbation. Desirous of seeing our transatlantic brethren the emulous 

 yet generous rivals of the cultivators of science in Britain, in every depart- 

 ment of human knowledge, Mr. Featherstonhaugh's Journal has our most 

 cordial wishes for its success. 



Again we express our cordial wislies for the prosperity of this work, which 

 we are convinced will perform very important services to science." — Philo- 

 sophical Magazine and Annals of Fhilosophy, London, Odober, 1831.. 



" It affords us the greatest satisfaction to find, that it is precisely in this 

 laudable spirit of christianized philosophy, that the Monthly American Journal 

 of Geology and Naturul Science, has been undertaken by its able conductor. 

 The first number of that work now lies before us, and if the promises which 

 it announces be fulfilled even to a limited extent, it cannot fail to collect very 

 valuable materials towards a complete theory of the earth. It is the avowed 

 intention of the editor to ascertain, as far as it is possible, a common ground 

 for the theologian and geologist to stand comfortably upon, one which brings 

 prejudice neither to religion nor science ; and to inculcate that one of the 

 great objects of existence is ' the study of the Creator through his Works.* 

 We need hardly add, that such a publication as this has our most cordial wishes 

 for its success,"— London Monthly Reuiew, November, 18.52. 



We congratulate the lovers and cultivators of science on the commence- 

 ment of a Journal devoted exclusively to natural historj', and more particu- 

 larly to that important branch of it, geology, and heartily wish for it a libei-al 

 patronage. The couductor is a gentleman, who, it is understood, has given 

 much attention to natural history, and is advantageously known by his lectures 

 on geology, so numerously attended and favorably received a few months 

 ago. — Foukon's American Daily Advertiser.

 and judgment he displays through the pages of this new Journal, give it a 

 claim to the patronage of the public which must ensure its entire success. —
