Abstract
THIS clearly written work, undertaken with a just enthusiasm, is a welcome and permanent contribution to the biography of scientific men. Von Hoff's position as an original thinker is at least equal to that of Lyell, though both writers, of course, found notable Bahnbrecher before them, in Hutton, Desmarest, and others. Karl von Zittel, in his “Geschichte der Geologie,” held the balance very wisely between von Hoff and Lyell when he wrote.
Karl Ernst Adolf von Hoff, der Bahnbrecher moderner Geologie.
By Dr. Otto Reich. Pp. xvi + 144. (Leipzig: Veit and Co., 1905.) Price 4 marks.
