Abstract
THIS is a popular account of the nebular hypothesis, based upon a course of lectures adapted to a juvenile audience, and it is, therefore, almost superfluous to remark that the subject is presented in simple language and that no great mental effort on the part of the reader is called for. The theme is one which furnishes splendid opportunities for the display of the powers of graphic description and illustration for which the author is so well known, and the book will doubtless succeed in extending the interest in this fascinating chapter of science.
The Earth's Beginning.
