As we have expressed our dissent from the general principle: 
work, we cite further a few paragraphs in order to give more definiteness 
_ to our objection, and at the same time to show those who may be inter 
ested, the nature of some of the discussions in the volume. 
The subjects of the chapters of the work are—1. rhe Rapes, Statical 0 or 
Geographical Geology; 2. Dynamical; 3. Anatomical; 4. Botanical; 
5. Zoological; 6. Anthropological ia Ethnological ; 7. Pathologie nd
