that he has propounded in it new theories or original discoveries, but that the 
book is a writing out of his own experience, without abridgment or re-writing 
of other books. ‘The result is admirable for perspicuity, for charm of exposi- 
tion, and for solid instruction. The book is illustrated with twenty tinted litho- 
graphs, from drawings by Mr. Jukes and Mr. Dunoyer, who is himself a Geologist, 
and they are of rare excellence as illustrations ; altogether it is an introduction to 
the study of Geology to be most emphatically recommended.” —Zeader. 
“This is one of the most remarkable works on Geology which have yet been 
published; Mr. Jukes has struck ont a new path for the geological student, and 
has done more to remove the difficulties which impeded his progress than any 
previous author. Rarely, indeed, have we perused any introductory manual with 
greater pleasure; every word we have read has conveyed the impression that 
Mr. Jukes is an original observer, thoroughly conversant with his subject, and 
aware of the difficulties to be overcome. His language is graceful, simple, and 
free from everything like scientific pedantry.”’— Liverpool Courier.

“Tf there still remains a real living unsatisfied Protectionist, we in all hearti- 
ness and goodwill recommend to him the amusing and instructive ‘Chronicles’ 
before us.’ —Sherborne Journal. 
“The writer handles this subject in such a masterly manner—his style is so 
piquant, as well as forcible, so scholarly, yet so racy—his wit and his wisdom are 
so skilfully blended-—he has so cleverly worked out his motto, Ridentem dicere 
verum, by telling the truth langhingly —that the reader finds himself irresistibly 
carried along, and he and the book part not company until he has made himself 
master of the tale that he has to unfold’’— Leicestershire Mercury. 
“This is a rare little volume. We don’t know which to admire most, the 
author’s humour or his wisdom. He has set himself the task of illustrating, in 
an agreeable manner, the evils of Custom, Prejudice, and Fendalism, as they 
exist among agriculturists. It will create mneh laughter among the merry, and 
convey many a lesson to the tiller of the soil.’—Zra. 
“Cleverly written in a vein of pleasantry, the work perseveringly uproots the 
prejudice of the past, and demonstrates that scientific knowledge is an important 
element in successful tillage.’—Lincoln Mercury. 
“The vignettes of Mr. Cruikshank are the happiest proofs we have lately 
seen that the genius of this fine artist’s earlier day is still fresh and unimpaired. 
The farmers should be very grateful to haye such a nice little book provided for 
their especial use, entertainment, and profit.” —Zraminer.
