PART II.—The Atmosphere of Our Present Period. Appendices; Index.
*** Dr. Phipson's work presents, amidst much which is of interest to the Scientist and the General Reader alike, a short résumé of his discovery of the origin of Atmospheric Oxygen, the existence of which he attributes wholly to the action of Solar Radiation upon vegetable life. The book will be found replete with much that is new, curious, and interesting, both in connection with Weather Lore, and with Scientific Meteorology.—Publisher's Note.
"The book should prove of interest to general readers, as well as to meteorologists and other students of science."—Nature.

"Prof. Cole treats of the examination of minerals and rocks in a way that has never been attempted before ... deserving of the highest praise. Here indeed are 'Aids' innumerable and invaluable. All the directions are given, with the utmost clearness and precision."—Athenæum.
"That the work deserves its title, that it is full of 'Aids,' and in the highest degree 'practical,' will be the verdict of all who use it."—Nature.
"This excellent Manual ... will be a very great help.... The Section on the Examination of Fossils is probably the best of its kind yet published.... Full of well-digested information from the newest sources and from personal research."—Annals of Nat. History.
