=GEOLOGY FOR GENERAL READERS.=
A SERIES OF POPULAR SKETCHES IN GEOLOGY AND PALÆONTOLOGY. By DAVID
PAGE, LL.D. F.R.S.E. F.G.S. Second Edition, containing several New
Chapters. Price 6s.
"Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or
more decisive merit than those of Mr Page on Geology and Palæontology.
They are clear and vigorous in style, they never oppress the reader with
a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous and
superfluous terminology; and they have the happy art of taking him
straightway to the face of nature herself, instead of leading him by the
tortuous and bewildering paths of technical system and artificial
classification."--_Saturday Review._
"This is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in
a flowing popular style. Without illustration or any extraneous aid, the
narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent reader."--_Geological
Magazine._
