“The work may be described as an outline of the history of vegetable and animal life upon the globe, from the early age when there were only seaweeds and marine invertebrates as yet in existence, down to the era when the mammals received among them the king of species, Man. By his intimate acquaintance with the subject, and power of arrangement and description, Professor Ansted succeeds in producing a narration, which tells in its entire range like a romance.”—Manchester Examiner.
