PREFACE. XI 



Edward Charlesworth, F.G.S. (the late) ; in which the 

 Institute possesses the last work done by one of the oldest 

 and most careful of geologists. " The Glacial Period and 

 the Earth-Movement Hypothesis," by Professor James 

 Geiexe, LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., &c. The general interest 

 felt in this subject, and its indirect bearing on the question 

 of the Age of Man, tended to make many take part 

 in its discussion, and in the appendix to the volume, 

 a resume of many current opinions will be found. " Notes 

 on Useful and Ornamental Stones of Ancient Egypt," 

 by Sir J. William Dawson, GM.G., LL.D., F.R.S.; the 

 author describes these, and the use to which they have 

 been put by various nations ancient and modern : 

 the subject, so full of interest to students both of sacred 

 and secular history, was considered by many, including 

 Mr. W. H. Hudleston, F.R.S., President of the Geological 

 Society, Professors E. Hull, LL.D., F.R.S., and J. Logan 

 Loblef, F.G.S., Major C. R. Conder, R.E., D.C.L., LL.D., 

 Mr. W. Brindley, F.G.S., Mr. Boscawen, Mr. J. D. Crace, 

 &c. 



To all who have taken a part in the work done, the best 

 thanks of the Members and Associates are due.
