This Work announces and illustrates a grand Physical Law, which, though hitherto unrecognised, is proved to be of universal application in the organic world—the Law of Prochronism in Creation. On this principle the Author shows that the conclusions of geologists as to the great antiquity of the earth are not inevitable, that there is another solution of the facts at least possible.
