“In this last volume of the trilogy the faults of the author’s style become intolerably exaggerated. A lack of symmetry, subordination and clarity seems to be a general fault with Russian literature and doubtless also of their life, for a like confusion and aimlessness appear to characterize their politics.” Edwin E. Slosson.

Merrill, George Perkins. Treatise on rocks, rock-weathering and soils; new ed. rev. throughout. *$4. Macmillan.
6–46275.
“There has been very little attempt to harmonize conflicting views, and almost none at independent interpretation. The pages devoted to rocks and to soils reflect current views rather than suggest new ones. The chapters devoted to rock-weathering are the best in the book, and constitute in the aggregate our most authoritative treatise on this subject.”—Dial.
“The book is especially useful to readers who desire a knowledge of the general facts and principles involved in the study of rocks and their change into soils.”

“Combines a large amount of matter of a purely categorical and descriptive scientific character with an almost equally large amount of matter of interest and value to any wide-awake person wishing to know about the earth on which he lives.”
