" It is impossible to praise too highly the research which PROFESSOR SEELEY'S 

 1 PHYSICAL GEOLOGY ' evidences. IT is FAR MORE THAN A TEXT-BOOK it is 

 a DIRECTORY to the Student in prosecuting his researches." Extract from the. 

 Presidential Address to the Geological Society, 1885, by Rev. Professor Bonney^ 

 D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S. 



" PROFESSOR SEELEY maintains in his ' PHYSICAL GEOLOGY ' the high 

 reputation he already deservedly bears as a Teacher. . . . It is difficult, 

 in the space at our command, to do fitting justice to so large a work. . . . 

 The final chapters, which are replete with interest, deal with the Biological 

 aspect of Palaeontology. Here we find discussed the origin, the extinction, 

 succession, migration, persistence, distribution, relation, and variation of species 

 with other considerations, such as the Identification of Strata by Fossils, 

 Homotaxis, Local Faunas, Natural History Provinces, and the relation of 

 Living to Extinct forms." Dr. Henry Woodward, F.R.S., in the " Geological 

 Magazine. ' ' 



" A deeply interesting volume, dealing with Physical Geology as a whole, 

 and also presenting us with an animated summary of the leading doctrines -and 

 facts of Palaeontology, as looked at from a modern standpoint." Scotsman. 



" PROFESSOR SEELEY'S work includes one of the most satisfactory Treatises 

 on Lithology in the English language. ... So much that is not accessible 

 in other works is presented in this volume, that no Student of Geology can 

 afford to be without it." American Journal of Engineering. 



" Geology from the point of view of Evolution." Westminster Review. 



" PROFESSOR SEELEY'S PHYSICAL GEOLOGY is full of instructive matter, 

 whilst the philosophical spirit which it displays will charm many a reader. 

 From early days the author gave evidence of a powerful and eminently original 

 genius. No one has shown more convincingly than the author that, in all 

 ways, the past contains within itself the interpretation of the existing world, " 

 Annals of Natural History.
