212 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. FT. in. 



With Linnaeus we must end for the present the history 

 of the sciences relating to living beings. Early in the nine- 

 teenth century we shall return to them again, but in the 

 next chapter we must learn something of a new science 

 which arose about this time ; namely, the science of 

 'Geology,' or the study of the earth.
