Abstract
THIS is Dr. Reyer's first publication, and we gladly acknowledge it to be a very promising one. The subject, a minute geological treatise of the Euganean Mountains near Padua, illustrated by a well-drawn map, hardly calls for a lengthy notice on our part, but the little work is attractively written, and testifies to the complete mastery the author possesses over his subject. He minutely describes the structure of these mountains, then dwells upon the consequences he draws from this regarding their geological history, and raises before the eyes of the reader an interesting picture of times long past, and of forms long extinct. Dr. Reyer's language has the advantage of being clear and to the point, and free from all unnecessary ornament. We have pleasure in recommending the book to our readers, and hope that it may soon be followed by another production from Dr. Reyer's pen.
