70 WOEKS ON GEOLOGY. 



Professor Phillips' s treatises on geology, in the Encyclo- 

 paedia Metropolitana and the Cabinet Cyclopaedia, are 

 valuable ; and his Guide is an admirable epitome of facts. 



The Geology of England and Wales, by Conybeare and 

 Phillips, is the student's best guide for the geology of our 

 island, and will long remain a monument to the industry of 

 its authors, and a useful compendium of carefully compiled 

 facts. 



The Catalogue of British Eossils, by John Morris, Esq., 

 is an indispensable hand-book ; and Mr. Tennant's smaller 

 work on the same subject should be in the library of the 

 student. 



It is impossible to pass over, in. the list of writings on 

 geology, the able and learned treatise of the Rev. J)r. Pye 

 Smith, in which he attempts to reconcile the discoveries of 

 geology with the facts related in Scripture, and to demonstrate 

 the perfect harmony of science with Eevelation. 



The above are the most important and valuable publi- 

 cations in our language ; and the student may safely com- 

 mence his studies under the guidance of these works. 



A Dictionary of Geological Terms will be found extremely 

 useful ; and that of Dr. Humble, or the smaller publication 

 by Mr. Roberts, may be consulted with advantage. 



The Geological Chart of Sir H. T. Delabeche will prove 

 highly instructive : a good geological map will also be indis- 

 pensable ; that of Mr. Greenough, which is published under 

 the sanction of the Geological Society, is the largest and 

 most comprehensive. The large Geological Map by Mr. 

 Knipe, or the smaller one published by the Society for the 

 Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, are both very valuable. 



Mr. Bartlett's Index Geologicus presents, at one view, a 

 sketch of the whole succession of the deposits their animal, 

 vegetable, and mineral characteristics, together with an 

 account of their agricultural soil and productions, and is 

 useful for reference. 



We cannot too strongly impress on the student the great 

 advantage of a common-place book. He should, indeed, 

 have one for each department general geology, the minerals, 

 the animals, and the plants. It should possess an index, 

 and if he enter under its proper head the works of the 

 various authors on these subjects, the fresh discoveries
