GEOLOGICAL DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTHATIONS. 



Mr. Robert Bakewell, Jr., son of the author of tbe well known 

 system of Geology, executes geological drawings with great preci- 

 sion and effect. Accustomed in former years, to make geological 

 excursions with his father, and to sketch for his works, he unites 

 the tact of an expert artist with a perfect comprehension of the de- 

 sign, and thus is enabled to produce a fine result. To principals and 

 professors of colleges, academies, lyceums, and other literary insti- 

 tutions, and to other scientific persons, it must be interesting to be 

 informed, that Mr. Bakewell keeps on hand, drawings and dia- 

 grams, illustrative of the science of geology, comprising stratification, 

 metallic veins, organic remains, active and extinct volcanoes, &;c. &c. 



The drawings are fixed on rollers, adapted for lectures. Letters 

 addressed to R. Bakewell, instructor of drawing and perspective in 

 Yale College, at Mr. Eben. Johnson's, Chapel street. New Haven, 

 will be duly attended to. 



We have great pleasure in recommending Mr. Bakewell and his 

 works as entirely worthy of public confidence ; and the editor of this 

 Journal, (as a public teacher of geology,) can speak from considera- 

 ble experience of the perfect intelligibleness and great attractiveness 

 of Mr. Bakewell's geological drawings, both in popular and in univer- 

 sity courses. This gentleman has, in the same manner, beautifully 

 illustrated a course of anatomy, and his talents and attainments are 

 adequate to any thing which may admit of illustration by the graphic 

 art. — Editor. 



During an absence of the editor of this Journal, since the last week 

 in August, various communications have arrived which he has, as 

 yet, been unable to examine. They will be attended to as soon as 

 practicable.
