BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NATHANIEL SOUTHGATE SHALER 599 



Lastly, within a few years Mr Shaler ventured into the field of general 

 literature and poetry. His drama, "Elizabeth of England," has been 

 highly praised as a noble work of imagination and diction. A posthu- 

 mous volume of poetry, "From old fields," has been mentioned. 



It is too early to estimate the value of his formal contributions to 

 American geology, of which but an imperfect account has been given, 

 but there can be no doubt as to the immense influence he exerted as a 

 teacher and expositor of the subject. He recognized the preeminent place 

 accorded to him in this respect by chosing as the subject of his presi- 

 dential address to this Society in 1895 "The relations of geologic science 

 to education." It is perhaps as one of the great teachers of geology that 

 he will be best remembered by us, and may the inspiration he gave long 

 continue to bear fruit.

 thought worth while to place on record as complete a bibliography as possible of his 

 writings.
