" The straitness of our limits prevents us from indulging in any quotations 

 from this original and scientific work, which is distinguished hy a correctness 

 of arrangement, an accuracy of description, an acuteness of deduction, a 

 comprehensiveness of theory, a perspicuity of style, and an excellence of 

 graphic illustration, which reflect infinite credit upon the zeal and industry 

 of the author, who, though most extensively engaged in the practice of his 

 profession, has devoted his leisure to such noble purposes as the researches 

 commemorated in this book. The successful handling of such subjects 

 requires an exact and extensive knowledge of chemistry, and comparative and 

 human anatomy, and botany, and a general acquaintance with all the natural 

 sciences ; this knowledge is possessed in a high degree by Dr. Mantell, whose 

 numerous discoveries in fossil botany and anatomy not only evince the solidity 

 of his knowledge, but place in a strong light his industry, perseverance, and 

 patience, in overcoming the difficulties and evading the obstacles which the 

 pursuit of his arduous profession presents. Dr. Mantell affords an example 

 worthy the imitation of all his medical brethren, and furnishes a signal proof 

 that active professional occupation, is not incompatible with a deep devotion 

 to the most profound philosophical investigations which can engage the mind 

 of man." — Lancet, March, 1834. 



IV. THE WONDERS OF GEOLOGY; or, A Familiar Expo- 

 sition of Geological Phenomena. In 2 vols, foolscap 8vo, with

 H. G. Bohn). Price 14s. 



" Dr. Mantell's Wonders of Geolugy must continue to be a favourite work, 

 equally in the geological schools, in the private study, and in the family 

 circle. It may be read and understood by any intelligent and educated 

 individual; its exact science, sound logic, and dignity of style, ensure its 

 acceptance with the learned; its elegance and perspicuity, with the polite 

 and refined ; and its comprehensive brevity, with the student of the elements 

 of Geology. It realizes, indeed, our beau-idea! of a familiar, yet dignified, 

 philosophical style ; being alike condensed and luminous, possessing a graceful 

 and flowing eloquence, and rising, as the subject may require, into the sublime 

 as well as the beautiful. We are not aware of the existence of any work, in any 

 department ef science, which has higher claims at once to a place in the 

 library of a philosopher, and on the table of a refined family. " — American 

 Journal of Science. Review of Ike Fourth London, and First American 

 Edition of the Wonders of Geology. 



"Dr. Mantell's eloquent and delightful work, the Wonders of Geology." —
