Abstract
DR. HUNTINGTON and Prof. Gregory have no little in common. They are both men of science, one a geographer and the other a geologist. They have travelled widely; they are profoundly interested in broad human problems, and are not afraid to go outside the narrow range of technical studies, and upon the basis of their knowledge and experience to discuss social and political questions of the day. In so doing they have sometimes exposed themselves to criticism, but we may be grateful to them, since in general it is more to be desired that men of science should attempt to draw wide lessons from the results of their research than that those without scientific training should do so.
