" We believe, indeed, that many will be induced to enter on the study from a perusal of this 

 little work. The divisions of the subject are so clearly defined, the explanations are so lucid, 

 the relations of one portion of the subject to another are so satisfactorily shown, and, above all, 

 the bearing of the allied sciences to Physical Geography are brought out with so much precision, 

 that every reader will feel that difficulties have been removed, and the path of study smoothed 

 before him." Athenceum.

 we could express an opinion so entirely favourable as we are enabled to do of Mr Page's little

" It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure that we record our appreciation of his ' Advanced 

 Text-Book of Geology.' We have carefully read this truly satisfactory book, and do not hesitate 

 to say that it is an excellent compendium of the great facts of Geology, and written in a truth- 

 ful and philosophic spirit." Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. 



" We know of no introduction containing a larger amount of information in the same space, 

 and which we could more cordially recommend to the geological student." Athenceum.. 



" An admirable book on Geology. It is from no invidious desire to underrate other works- 

 it is the simple expression of justice which causes us to assign to Mr Page's ' Advanced Text- 

 Book ' the very first place among geological works addressed to students." Leader.
