Abstract
IF there be any one feature more strongly marked in the present age than another indicative of progress and intellectual advancement, it is the superiority of most (we will not say of all) of the books intended to promote education. School books and class books of all kinds, instead of being merely reprints, as in the days of yore, now really undergo revision every five years or so, or are superseded by new ones; whilst the introduction of natural science teaching into our Universities and public schools has created a demand for text-books to an extent greater even than the supply.
The Student's Manual of Geology.
By J. Beete Jukes F.R.S. Third edition, re-cast, and in great part rewritten. Edited by Archibald Geikie, F.R.S. (Edinburgh: A. and C. Black, 1872.)
