Town and Country Journal: “His language is graphic and simple, and he has maintained the unity and continuity of the story of events despite the necessity of following the subject along the seven branches corresponding with the seven separate colonies.”
THE GEOLOGY OF SYDNEY AND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS.
A Popular Introduction to the Study of Australian Geology.
By Rev. J. MILNE CURRAN, Lecturer in Chemistry and Geology, Technical College, Sydney.
Second Edition. With a Glossary of Scientific terms, a Reference List of commonly-occurring Fossils, 2 coloured maps, and 83 illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s. (post free 6s. 6d.).
Nature: “This is, strictly speaking, an elementary manual of geology. The general plan of the work is good; the book is well printed and illustrated with maps, photographic pictures of rock structure and scenery, and figures of fossils and rock sections.”
Saturday Review: “His style is animated and inspiring, or clear and precise, as occasion demands. The people of Sydney are to be congratulated on the existence of such a guide to their beautiful country.”
Literary World: “We can heartily recommend the book as a very interesting one, written in a much more readable style than is usual in works of this kind.”
South Australian Register: “Mr. Curran has extracted a charming narrative of the earth’s history out of the prosaic stone. Though he has selected Sydney rocks for his text, his discourse is interestingly Australian.”
