Abstract
MR. HOWORTH's book is not disproportionate to its subject. But even as the mammoth it had a small beginning. It saw light as letters in NATURE. It cast its swaddling-clothes at the British Association. Grown larger, it took passage on board the Geological Magazine, and, as some thought, threatened to swamp that useful but far from bulky periodical. Now, with body and tusks alike full-grown, it comes forth to champion cataclysm and scatter the uniformitarians.
The Mammoth and the Flood: an Attempt to Confront the Theory of Uniformity with the Facts of Recent Geology.
By Henry H. Howorth (London: Sampson Low and Co., 1887.)
