Abstract
THIS little volume belongs to a series of “Biblical Manuals,” edited by Prof. J. Estlin Carpenter. With the polemical parts of the book we have, of course, nothing to do. In the chapters in which Mr. Crosskey devotes himself simply to the exposition of scientific truths he writes with full knowledge of his subject and in a clear and pleasant style. “How ‘dry land’ was formed” is the subject of an excellent chapter, in which the writer brings together some of the more striking of the facts which prove that rocks have been formed by various agencies, that there is no single period at which any kind of rock has been specially produced, that the crust of the earth consists of rocks in ordered succession, and that there has been an unvarying order in the succession of rocks. There are also good chapters on the history of plants and animals, and on the antiquity of the human race.
The Method of Creation.
By Henry W. Crosskey. (London: The Sunday School Association, 1888.)
