Rev. H. N. HUTCHINSON, B.A., F.G.S., AUTHOR OF "THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH." _OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._ "This work belongs to that useful class whose intention is to arouse interest in the works of nature, and quicken the faculty of observation." _Manchester Guardian._ "It tells in the pleasantest way the first things that geologists learn and teach crabbedly about the heaving up of hills, the wearing of them down by the weather, the breaking out of volcanoes, and kindred matters."--_Scotsman._ "The author is a man of wide geological and physiographical reading, possessed of the gift of clearly interpreting the writers he reads, and of reproducing their facts and conclusions in easily understood and even attractive language."--_Science Gossip._ "It will be read with pleasure and profit by the tourist who likes to know just enough about the sundry points of interest connected with the scene of his wanderings to make the enjoyment of his outing intelligent."--_Nature._ "Mr. Hutchinson's book deals with the slow moulding of mountain forms by streams and by weathering, and with the forces by which mountains have been upheaved, and will double the pleasure of a mountain trip. It is of a handy and portable size, and is illustrated with several excellent reproductions of photographs by the late Mr. W. Donkin."--_Knowledge._ "A charmingly written and beautifully illustrated account of the making of the mountains. An admirable gift book."--_Yorkshire Post._ "This is a popular and well illustrated account of mountains and how they were made. The illustrations are especially excellent, being reproductions of photographs taken by the late Mr. W. Donkin, Messrs. Walentine and Sons (Dundee), and Mr. Wilson (Aberdeen). Mr. Hutchinson writes interestingly, and evidently knows geology and physiography."--_Journal of Education._ SEELEY AND CO., Limited, Essex Street, Strand. _Recently Published, by the same Author_ THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH. _A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF GEOLOGICAL HISTORY._ BY THE Rev.
