THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH: A Popular Account of Geological history. By Rev. H. N. Hutchinson, B. A., F. G. S. With 27 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
“A scientific work, divested of technicalities, and put into a bright, narrative form which can not but attract even the most general reader.”—Boston Transcript.
“It is hardly conceivable that the rich results of the science of geology can be so treated as to prove uninteresting to thinking people, be they young or old. When, therefore, we say that Mr. Hutchinson’s book is extremely interesting, no more might be implied than that the author has skillfully used the vast materials at his hand. But Mr. Hutchinson has successfully carried out a difficult design on an admirable plan, and has adhered to that plan throughout. His sketch of historical geology has a genuine continuity.”—Saturday Review.

Capitalists, investors, railroad projectors, land speculators, and all who need to know the distribution of land values, will find a vast amount of information in this well-arranged work, the contents of which, it is safe to say, could not be found assembled in similar compass elsewhere.”—Boston Literary World.
