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.
