This little book is, on the whole, the best popular geology that has 

 ever come from the press. The subject is one that possesses tiie strong- 

 est possible interest for the writer and awakens his greatest enthusiasm. 

 One of the strongest and most interesting chapters in tlie volume is the 

 first of the two on primitive man. The whole book is remarkable for its 

 simplicity, clearness, interest, and vitality. — Mail and Express^, N. Y. 



The work is full of absorbing interest, — Toledo Blade. 



The book is a recognized authority on the subject of which it treats, 

 and worthy of a place in the library. — 8. 8. Journal^ N. Y. 



We advise any of our readers who have been carried away with the 

 evolution craze — as something that indicates advanced thinking — to read 

 this most valuable work. — ChriHtian Standard., Cincinnati, 0. 



An excellent summary of geological history. — Boston LiteraryWorld. 



The author is an able opponent of the theories of the evolutionists, 

 and his discussion of the theme is interesting. His account of the lowest 

 and earliest form of animal life as exemplified in what he calls the 

 " dawn animal," found by him in fossil state in Canada, is of special in- 

 terest. — Brooklyn Eagle. 



The last two chapters of the work on "Primitive Man" contain a)i 

 unanswerable argument against the Darwinian theory of evolution, and 

 will be found invaluable by all who are called to face that phase of 

 modern infidelity. We most earnestly commend the volume. — Chicago 

 Interior. 



Tliis work has stood the test of criticism, and has won its way to the 

 position of a standard text-book. The learned author does not accept 

 theories for scientific facts, nor permit himself to be led away by mere 

 clamor. He goes to the bottom of things, and gets at the truth if possi- 

 ble. He does not presume to build a scientific system upon finely wrought 

 suppositions. What is known of the history of the earth and man tlie 

 student will find in this book. It comes up to date with its facts. We 

 do not know its equal as a text-book on this subject. It is sufficiently 

 illustrated, and beautifully printed, and has a copious index. — 8an Fran- 

 cisco Christian Advocate. 



We cannot but give the greatest respect to the writer of this book, 

 who presents so vividly the history of the world's progress, and we can- 

 not but express admiration for that clear and precise style he possesses.
