Rh Introductory Text-Book of Geology. By David Page, F.G.S. Fourth Edition, with Engravings. In Crown Octavo, price Is. 6'd. " It has not been often our good-fortune to examine a text-book on science of which we could express an opinion so entirely favourable as we are enabled to do of Mr Page's little work." — A thenceum.

Advanced Text-Book of Geology, DESCRIPTIVE AND INDUSTRIAL. By David Page, F.G.S. Second Edition, Enlarged, with numerous Engravings, 6s. " An admirable book on Geology. It is from no invidious desire to underrate other works — it is the simple expression of justice — which causes us to assign to Mr Page's Advanced Text-Book the very first place among geological works addressed to students, at least among those which have come before us. We have read every word of it, with care and with delight, never hesitating as to its meaning, never detecting the omission of anything needful in a popular and succinct exposition of a rich and varied subject." — Leader. 11 It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure that we record our appreciation of his Advanced Text-Book of Geology. We have carefully read this truly satisfactory book, and do not hesi- tate to say that it is an excellent compendium of the great facts of Geology, and written in a truthful and philosophic spirit." — Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. " We know of no introduction containing a larger amonnt of information in the same Bpace, and which we could more cordially recommend to the geological student." — Athenceum.

Handbook of Geological Terms and Geology. By David Page, F.G.S. In Crown Octavo, price 6s. "'To the student, miner, engineer, architect, agriculturist, and others, who may have occasion to deal with geological facts, and yet who might not be inclined to turn up half a dozen volumes, or go through a course of geological readings for an explanation of the term in question,' Mr Page has carried out the object with the most complete success. His book amply fulfils the promise contained in its title, constituting a handbook not only of geologi- cal terms, but of the science of geology. It will not only be absolutely indispensable to the student, but will be invaluable as a complete and handy book of reference even to the advanced geologist." — Literary Gazette. " There is no more earnest living practical worker in geology than Mr David Page. To his excellent Introductory Text-Book of Geology and his Advanced, Text-Book of Geology, Descriptive and Industrial, he has now added an admirable system of geological terms, with ample and clearly written explanatory notices, such as all geological observers, whether they are able professors and distinguished lecturers, or mere inquirers upon the threshold of the science, must find to be of the highest value." — Practical Mechanics' Journal. " But Mr Page's work is very much more than simply a translation of the language of Geology into plan English ; it is a Dictionary, in which not only the meaning of the words is given, but also a clear and concise account of all that is most remarkable and worth know- ing in the objects which the words are designed to express. In doing this he has chiefly kept in view the requirements of the general reader, but at the same time adding such details as will render the volume an acceptable Handbook to the student and professed geologist."— The Press.
