WORKS BY DR. MANTELL. 



They are at once a popular guide and hand-book for the Student and 

 Amateur Collector of Fossil Remains, and for the reader who may desire 

 a general acquaintance with a science abounding in objects of the 

 highest interest ; and for the Tourist, who may wish in the course of 

 his travels to employ profitably and agreeably a leisure hour in the 

 various districts he may visit. 



" Dr. Mantell's Medals of Creation are among the chef d'ceuvres of the art of 

 book-making in the best understanding of the term ; we mean technically and 

 mechanically, as well as intellectually. The two volumes being elegantly bound 

 in embossed covers, and of a portable size, will and must take their place as the 

 companion, not only of the geologist in his study, but also in the field ; while they 

 will also accompany the intelligent travellers of both sexes, as most instructive 

 and delightful Mentors in their journeyings among the grand and beautiful 

 scenes of our globe. The work is, indeed, a classic of high excellence, of great 

 research, and formidable labour." American Journal of Science for January, 

 1845. 



THOUGHTS ON A PEBBLE ; or, a First Lesson in Geology. The Seventh 

 Edition, with Eleven additional Illustrations. Just published. Price 3*. 



" This elegant little book, primer-like in size, and illustrated by fine coloured 

 plates and wood engravings, serves still to convey some of the grandest truths in 

 Geology in the simplest guise. After what we know of its accomplished Author.' 

 we might well expect, when he picks up and describes a pebble from the brook - 

 side, that we should find 



books in the running brooks, 



Sermons in stones, and good in everything. 



It is almost superfluous to add, that the style is lucid, eloquent, poetical, and phi- 

 losophical, for all these attributes are combined in Dr. Mantell's works. The 

 elegant form of the little book, its snowy paper, excellent type, and rich illustra- 

 tions, recommend it to the eye of taste; while to the philosopher, as well as to the 

 pupil, it presents truly a First Lesson in Geology, and cannot be perused without 

 pleasure and profit. It has passed through many Editions, and we wish they may 

 be repeated as long as the stars glow or the waters flow." American Journal of 

 Science.
