Abstract
THE author of this curious book tells us that it is an attempt to present a sketch of the evolution of the earth on the nebular hypothesis, to note also subsequent sea and land movements, and successive appearances of life as revealed by the geological strata. The geological record of past life remains very imperfect; still, many additions, notably from strata in Egypt and North America, have been made in recent years, and studied in the light of the doctrine of evolution its revelations have become more intelligible.
