'HE ICE AGE IN NORTH AMERICA, and its 

 Bearings upon the Antiquity of Man. By G. Frederick 

 Wright, D.D., LL. D., F.G.S.A., Professor in Oberlin 

 Theological Seminary ; Assistant on the United States Geo- 

 logical Survey. With an appendix on "The Probable Cause 

 of Glaciation," by Warren Upham, F.G.S.A., Assistant on 

 the Geological Surveys of New Hampshire, Minnesota, and 

 the United States. New and enlarged edition. With 150 Maps 

 and Illustrations. 8vo, 625 pages, and Index. Cloth, $5.00. 



_*' Not a novel in all the list of this year's publications has in it any pages of more 

 thrilling interest than can be found in this book by Professor Wright. There is noth- 

 ing pedantic in the narrative, and the most serious themes and startling discoveries are 

 treated with such charming naturalness and simplicity that boys and girls, as well as 

 their seniors, will be attracted to the story, and rnd it difficult to lay it aside." — New 

 York yournal of Commerce. 



" One of the most absorbing and interesting of all the recent issues in the depart- 

 ment of popular science." — Chicago Herald. 



_ "Though his subject is a very deep bne, his style is so very unaffected and per- 

 spicuous that even the unscientific reader can peruse it with intelligence and profit. In 

 reading such a book we are led almost to wonder that so much that is scientific can he 

 put In language so comparatively simple." — New York Observer. 



" The author has seen with his own eyes the most important phenomena of the Ice 

 age on this continent from Maine to Alaska. In the work itself, elementary description 

 is combined with a broad, scientific, and philosophic method, without abandoning for 

 a moment the purely scientific character. Professor Wright has contrived to givl the 

 whole a philosophical direction which lends interest and inspiration to it, and which in 

 the chapters on Man and the Glacial Period rises to something like dramatic intensity." 

 — J he independent. ' 



■'. . . To the great advance that has been made in late years in the accuracy and 

 cheapness of processes of photographic reproduction is due a further signal advantage 

 that Dr. Wnght s work possesses over his predecessors'. He has thus been able to 

 Illustrate niost of the natural phenomena to which he refers by views taken in the field, 

 many of which have been generously loaned by the United States Geological Survey 

 m some cases from unpublished material ; and he has admirably supplemented them by 

 numerous maps and diagrams. "-^7"A« Nation. .■«•«• 1
