" In Geological Stories, pieces of lignite, quartz, sandstone, jet, &c., become loquacious, 

 and tell extraordinary but scientifically true stories of the days when they were all young 

 together. It is written in a simple and familiar style. Geology in Mr. Taylor's hands is the 

 lightest literature." Times. 



" Written in a pleasing gossiping style, they lead the reader smoothly onwards, until he 

 finds himself in possession of a great deal of geological information." Quarterly Journal of 

 Science. 



"The stories are simply and clearly told, and present to the young students a tolerably 

 complete introduction to the wonders of palaeontology." Graphic.
