"The author of this volume is among the most eminent of geologists, and is well qualified to make an exposition of the science. This "Manual" is not intended as an epitome of another work, "The Principles of Geology," but occupies a distinct place, the "Principles" containing a view of the Modern changes of the Earth and its inhabitants, while the "Manual" relates to the Monuments of Ancient changes. The author recommends to the student of geology who wishes to examine his works, to commence with the "Principles," a new and thoroughly revised edition of which is just about tube issued by the Publishers of the present volume. "We are not among those who apprehend injury to the cause of Scripture truth, by the study of this science, and we only wish it were more generally and thoroughly investigated by sound minds. It is imperative on all theologians, and those designing to become such, to make this a branch, of study, and thus to be prepared to defend the truth when it is assayed, as it has been by men of science. The truth has nothing to fear, but every thing to gain even from scientific investigation."—Observer.
