MEMOIR OF CLARENCE EDWARD DUTTON 17 



ington, the American Geographical Society, the Academy of Political 

 and Social Science, the Geological Society of America, the Seismological 

 Society of America, and the National Academy of Sciences. 



In his writings Major Dutton had a most vigorous and impressive 

 style. His choice of words is of the best — euphonious, simple, but full of 

 force and interest. His phraseology is direct, winning the attention of 

 the reader and holding it throughout. He may be justly considered one 

 of the best writers of popular geological science of his day.
