THE WONDERS OF GEOLOGY;
OR,
A FAMILIAR EXPOSITION OF GEOLOGICAL PHENOMENA.
By GIDEON ALGERNON MANTELL, Esq., LL.D., F.R.S,
Vice-President of the Geological Society of London.
"Dr. Mantell's Wonders of Geology will continue to be a favourite work equally in the Geological schools, in the private study, and in the family circle. It may be read and understood by any intelligent and educated individual; its exact science, sound logic, and dignity of style ensure its acceptance with the learned; its elegance, beauty, and perspicuity, with the polite and refined; and its comprehensive brevity, with the student of the elements of Geology. It realizes, indeed, our beau-ideal of a familiar yet dignified philosophical style: being alike condensed and luminous, possessing a graceful flowing eloquence, and rising as the subject may require, into the sublime as well as the beautiful. We are not aware of the existence of any work, on any department of science, which has higher claims at once to a place in the library of the philosopher, and on the table of a refined family."—Review of the American Edition of the Wonders of Geology. American Journal of Science.
