Abstract
THESE are respectively the English and American A editions of the same work, and each weighs 3 Ib. 10 oz., without in any way approaching the dimensions of a German “Handbuch.“ We are not clear in this case if the insertion of an English title-page adds to the price of the work; but we note that the larger text-book by the same authors costs 63s. in London and 50.s. in New York. This “shorter course” is not one that could be used in colleges in our island, except as a description of the geology of North America; while as a reference-book on this subject and on the valuable original views of the authors the larger work is manifestly superior.
