of admirable lunar landscapes. All these add to the importance of Mr. 
Proctor’s book, and together with it constitute a complete history of our

are sorry our space does not permit us to notice this very clever and 
interesting book. It is clearly and decidedly anti-Darvs^inian, and is 
in its second edition — a fact that tells in its favour as being a popular work 
in Belgium. We cannot, however, see the force of the author’s opinions, 
and we can only account for them on one supposition, viz. that he has had 
nothing but a book-knowledge of the subject on which he writes. Still, 
he has combatted the Darwinian side with some cleverness, and his book 
merits being read by Darwinians, who, we are not disposed to think, will 
have their opinions seriously modified by its perusal.
