Vlll 



PEEFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION. 



the fossil remains 



Man 



' and ' Elements/ namely, 

 his works ; but whereas 



' the Elements ' 



volume is devoted to them 



the 



these topics occupy a few pages only in 

 and ' Principles/ half a 

 'Antiquity of Man.' In the latter treatise also, the ac- 

 count given of the Glacial Period, and its relation to the 

 earliest signs of Man's appearance in Europe and North 

 America, is much more expanded than in the ' Elements ' and 



from 



of view. 



The manner also in which the origin of species is handled in 

 the ' Antiquity of Man ' will be found to be different in many 

 respects from that in which I shall view the same subject in 

 the concluding volume of this work.
