WORKS BY THE LATE HUGH MILLER. 

 V. 



THE OLD RED SANDSTONE ; or, NEW WALKS IN AN OLD 

 FIELD. With Plates, price 7s. 6d. [Ninth Edition. 



" The excellent and lively work of our meritorious and self-taught coun- 

 tryman, Hugh Miller. This work is as admirable for the clearness of 

 its'description and the sweetness of its composition, as for the purity and 

 gracefulness that pervade it." Edinburgh Review. 



" The geological formation known as the Old Red Sandstone was long 

 supposed to be peculiarly barren of fossils. The researches of geologists, 

 especially those of Mr Miller, have, however, shown that formation to be 

 as rich in organic remains as any that has been explored. Mr Miller's 

 exceedingly interesting book on this formation is just the sort of work to 

 render any subject popular. It is written in a remarkably pleasing style, 

 and contains a wonderful amount of information." Westminster Review. 



" This admirable work, the production of a man who obtained his geo- 

 logical knowledge while working day by day as a labourer in a quarry of 

 the Old Red Sandstone in the north-east part of Scotland, evinces talent 

 of the highest order, a deep and healthful moral feeling, a perfect com- 

 mand of the finest language, and a beautiful union of philosophy and poetry. 

 No geologist can peruse this volume without instruction and delight. It 

 affords an admirable synopsis of the formation between the Granitic Schists 

 and the Coal Measures ; and, indeed, embraces an enlarged and highly phi- 

 losophical view of the science, and of its relation to the Creator." Profes* 

 tor SUliman's American Journal of Science. 



" A geological work has appeared, small in size, unpretending in spirit 

 and manner its contents the conscientious and accurate narrative of fact 

 its style the beautiful simplicity of truth and altogether possessing, for 

 a rational reader, an interest superior to that of a novel the ' Old Red 

 Sandstone,' by Hugh Miller." Dr Pye Smith's Relation between Scripture 

 and Geology. 



" In Mr Miller's charming little work will be found a very graphic de- 

 scription of the Old Red Fishes. I know not a more fascinating volume on 

 any branch of British Geology." Mantelfs Medals of Creation. 



" In Mr Miller we have to hail the accession to geological writers of a 

 man highly qualified to advance the science. His work, to a beginner, is 

 worth a thousand didactic treatises." Sir R. Murchison's Address to the 

 Geological Society, 1842. 



VI. 

 FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF ENGLAND AND ITS PEOPLE. 



Crown 8vo, cloth, price 7s. 6d. [Sixth Edition. 



" Thought is the prevailing element : good, sturdy, hard-worked 

 thought, such as we too seldom encounter in modern productions." 

 Athenceum. 



" This is precisely the kind of book we should have looked for from the 

 author of the ' Old Red Sandstone.' Straightforward and earnest in 

 style, rich and varied in matter, these ' First Impressions' will add an- 

 other laurel to the wreath which Mr Miller has already won for himself." 

 Westminster Review. 



" Mr Miller is a man of genius ; and, whatever country he may visit, 

 you may be sure his ' Impressions' will have equal reference to the land 

 and the people, to the geology of the region, and the humanity of it," 

 British Quarterly Review.
