D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.
_THE ICE AGE IN NORTH AMERICA, and its Bearings upon the Antiquity of
Man._ By G. Frederick Wright, D. D., LL. D., F. G. S. A., Professor in
Oberlin Theological Seminary; Assistant on the United States Geological
Survey. With an appendix on "The Probable Cause of Glaciation," by Warren
Upham, F. G. S. A., Assistant on the Geological Surveys of New Hampshire,
Minnesota, and the United States. New and enlarged edition. With 150 Maps
and Illustrations. 8vo, 625 pages, and Index. Cloth, $5.00.
"Not a novel in all the list of this year's publications has in it
any pages of more thrilling interest than can be found in this book
by Professor Wright. There is nothing pedantic in the narrative, and
the most serious themes and startling discoveries are treated with
such charming naturalness and simplicity that boys and girls, as
well as their seniors, will be attracted to the story, and find it
difficult to lay it aside."--_New York Journal of Commerce_.
"One of the most absorbing and interesting of all the recent issues
in the department of popular science."--_Chicago Herald_.
"Though his subject is a very deep one, his style is so very
unaffected and perspicuous that even the unscientific reader can
peruse it with intelligence and profit. In reading such a book we are
led almost to wonder that so much that is scientific can be put in
language so comparatively simple."--_New York Observer_.
"The author has seen with his own eyes the most important phenomena
of the Ice age on this continent from Maine to Alaska. In the work
itself, elementary description is combined with a broad, scientific,
and philosophic method, without abandoning for a moment the purely
scientific character. Professor Wright has contrived to give the
whole a philosophical direction which lends interest and inspiration
to it, and which in the chapters on Man and the Glacial Period rises
to something like dramatic intensity."--_The Independent_.
"... To the great advance that has been made in late years in the
accuracy and cheapness of processes of photographic reproduction
is due a further signal advantage that Dr. Wright's work possesses
over his predecessors'. He has thus been able to illustrate most
of the natural phenomena to which he refers by views taken in the
field, many of which have been generously loaned by the United States
Geological Survey, in some cases from unpublished material; and he
has admirably supplemented them by numerous maps and diagrams."--_The
Nation_.
_MAN AND THE GLACIAL PERIOD._ By G. Frederick Wright, D. D., LL. D.,
author of "The Ice Age in North America," "Logic of Christian Evidences,"
etc. International Scientific Series. With numerous Illustrations. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.75.
"It may be described in a word as the best summary of scientific
conclusions concerning the question of man's antiquity as affected by
his known relations to geological time."--_Philadelphia Press_.
"The earlier chapters describing glacial action, and the traces of it
in North America--especially the defining of its limits, such as the
terminal moraine of the great movement itself--are of great interest
and value. The maps and diagrams are of much assistance in enabling
the reader to grasp the vast extent of the movement."--_London
Spectator_.

_PRINCIPLES OF GEOLOGY; or, the Modern Changes of the Earth and its
Inhabitants, considered as illustrative of Geology._ By Sir Charles
Lyell, Bart. Illustrated with Maps, Plates, and Woodcuts. Two vols.,
royal 8vo. Cloth, $8.00.
The "Principles of Geology" may be looked upon with pride, not only
as a representative of English Science, but as without a rival of
its kind anywhere. Growing in fullness and accuracy with the growth
of experience and observation in every region of the world, the work
has incorporated with itself each established discovery, and has been
modified by every hypothesis of value which has been brought to bear
upon, or been evolved from, the most recent body of facts.
_THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH: A Popular Account of Geological
history._ By Rev. H. N. Hutchinson, B. A., F. G. S. With 27
Illustrations. Crown 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A scientific work, divested of technicalities, and put into a
bright, narrative form which can not but attract even the most
general reader."--_Boston Transcript_.
"It is hardly conceivable that the rich results of the science of
geology can be so treated as to prove uninteresting to thinking
people, be they young or old. When, therefore, we say that Mr.
Hutchinson's book is extremely interesting, no more might be
implied than that the author has skillfully used the vast materials
at his hand. But Mr. Hutchinson has successfully carried out a
difficult design on an admirable plan, and has adhered to that
plan throughout. His sketch of historical geology has a genuine
continuity."--_Saturday Review_.
_A REPRINT OF ANNUAL REPORTS AND OTHER PAPERS OF THE GEOLOGY OF THE
VIRGINIAS._ By the late William Barton Rogers, LL. D., etc., Director of
the Geological Survey of Virginia from 1835 to 1841. With numerous Maps,
Colored Charts, etc. 12mo. Cloth, $5.00.
_NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE UNITED STATES._ By Jacob Harris Patton, M. A.,
Ph. D. 8vo. 523 pages. Cloth, $3.00.
"This portly octavo of over 500 pages is an encyclopedic directory to
its subject, and a work of comprehensive scope, exhaustive research,
scientific spirit, and good literary form.... Capitalists, investors,
railroad projectors, land speculators, and all who need to know the
distribution of land values, will find a vast amount of information
in this well-arranged work, the contents of which, it is safe to say,
could not be found assembled in similar compass elsewhere."--_Boston
Literary World_.
"As interesting to read as it is valuable to consult. By the
employment of fine white paper and large, clear type, the publishers
have made it an elegant specimen of the printer's art."--_New York
Sun_.
New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.

_THE ICE AGE IN NORTH AMERICA, and its Bearings upon the Antiquity
of Man._ By G. Frederick Wright, D. D., LL. D. With 152 Maps and
Illustrations. Third edition, containing Appendix on the "Probable Cause
of Glaciation," by Warren Upham, F. G. S. A., and Supplementary Notes.
8vo. 625 pages, and complete Index. Cloth, $5.00.
"Prof. Wright's work is great enough to be called monumental. There
is net a page that is not instructive and suggestive. It is sure to
make a reputation aboard as well as at home for its distinguished
author, as one of the most active and intelligent of the living
students of natural science and the special department of glacial
action."--_Philadelphia Bulletin_.
_THE GREAT ICE AGE, and Us Relation to the Antiquity of Man._ By James
Geikie, F. R. S. E., of H. M. Geological Survey of Scotland. With Maps
and Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $2.50.
A systematic account of the Glacial epoch in England and Scotland,
with special reference to its changes of climate.
_THE CAUSE OF AN ICE AGE._ By Sir Robert J. Ball, LL. D., F. R. S., Royal
Astronomer of Ireland, author of "Starland." The first volume in the
Modern Science Series, edited by Sir John Lubbock. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"An exceedingly bright and interesting discussion of some of the
marvelous physical revolutions of which our earth has been the
scene. Of the various ages traced and located by scientists, none is
more interesting or can be more so than the Ice age, and never have
its phenomena been more clearly and graphically described, or its
causes more definitely located, than in this thrillingly interesting
volume."--_Boston Traveller_.
_TOWN GEOLOGY._ By the Rev. Charles Kingsley, F. L. S., F. G. S., Cañon
of Chester. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"I have tried rather to teach the method of geology than its facts;
to furnish the student with a key to all geology; rough indeed and
rudimentary, but sure and sound enough, I trust, to help him to
unlock most geological problems which may meet him in any quarter of
the globe."--_From the Preface_.
_AN AMERICAN GEOLOGICAL RAILWAY GUIDE._ Giving the Geological Formation
along the Rail-roads, with Altitude above Tide-water, Notes on
Interesting Places on the Routes, and a Description of each of the
Formations. By James Macfarlane, Ph. D., and more than Seventy-five
Geologists. Second edition, 426 pp., 8vo. Cloth, $2.50.
"The idea is an original one.... Mr. Macfarlane has produced a
very convenient and serviceable hand-book, available alike to the
practical geologist, to the student of that science, and to the
intelligent traveler who would like to know the country through which
he is passing."--_Boston Evening Transcript_.

_ASTRONOMY WITH AN OPERA-GLASS._ A Popular Introduction to the Study of the
Starry Heavens with the Simplest of Optical Instruments. By Garrett P.
Serviss. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
This is a unique book, quite alone in the field that it occupies. The
call for a fourth edition within two years after its first publication
attests its popularity. As one of its reviewers has said, "It is the most
human book on the subject of the stars." It would have supplied Thomas
Carlyle's want when he wrote, "Why did not somebody teach me the stars
and make me at home in the starry heavens?" Interest in the geography of
the heavens is increasing every year, as the discoveries of astronomers
with the giant telescopes of our day push back the limits of the known
universe, and this book is to those who read of such discoveries like an
atlas to the student of history.
Some of the compliments that the book has received are these:
"A most interesting and even fascinating book."--_Christian Union_.
"The glimpses he allows to be seen of far-stretching vistas opening
out on every side of his modest course of observation help to fix the
attention of the negligent, and lighten the toil of the painstaking
student.... Mr. Serviss writes with freshness and vivacity."--_London
Saturday Review_.
"We are glad to welcome this, the second edition, of a popular
introduction to the study of the heavens.... There could hardly be a more
pleasant road to astronomical knowledge than it affords.... A child may
understand the text, which reads more like a collection of anecdotes than
anything else, but this does not mar its scientific value."--_Nature_.
"Mr. Garrett P. Serviss's book, 'Astronomy with an Opera-Glass,' offers
us an admirable hand-book and guide in the cultivation of this noble
æsthetic discipline (the study of the stars)."--_New York Home Journal_.
"The book should belong to every family library."--_Boston Home Journal_.
"This book ought to make star-gazing popular."--_New York Herald_.
"The author attributes much of the indifference of otherwise
well-informed persons regarding the wonders of the starry firmament to
the fact that telescopes are available to few, and that most people have
no idea of the possibilities of the more familiar instrument of almost
daily use whose powers he sets forth."--New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"By its aid thousands of people who have resigned themselves to the
ignorance in which they were left at school, by our wretched system of
teaching by the book only, will thank Mr. Serviss for the suggestions he
has so well carried out."--_New York Times_.
"For amateur use this book is easily the best treatise on astronomy yet
published."--Chicago Herald.
"'Astronomy with an Opera-Glass' fills a long-felt want."--_Albany
Journal_.
"No intelligent reader of this book but will feel that if the author
fails to set his public star-gazing the fault is not his, for his style
is as winning, as graphic, and as clear as the delightful type in which
it is printed."--_Providence Journal_.
"Mr. Serviss neither talks over the heads of his readers nor ignores
the sublime complexity and range of his themes, but unites simplicity
with scholarship, scientific precision with life-long enthusiasm, and a
genuine eloquence with rare touches of humor. Considered as a product
of the publishing industry, the book is elegance itself."--_The
Chautauquan_.

_OUTINGS AT ODD TIMES._ By Charles C. Abbott, author of "Days out of Doors"
and "A Naturalist's Rambles about Home." 16mo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.25.
"A charming little volume, literally alone with Nature, for it discusses
seasons and the fields, birds, etc., with the loving freedom of a
naturalist born. Every page reads like a sylvan poem; and for the lovers
of the beautiful in quiet outdoor and out-of-town life, this beautifully
bound and attractively printed little volume will prove a companion and
friend."--_Rochester Union and Advertiser_.
_A NATURALIST'S RAMBLES ABOUT HOME._ By Charles C. Abbott. 12mo. Cloth,
$1.50.
"The home about which Dr. Abbott rambles is clearly the haunt of fowl
and fish, of animal and insect life; and it is of the habits and nature
of these that he discourses pleasantly in this book. Summer and winter,
morning, and evening, he has been in the open air all the time on the
alert for some new revelation of instinct, or feeling, or character
on the part of his neighbor creatures. Most that he sees and hears he
reports agreeably to us, as it was no doubt delightful to himself. Books
like this, which are free from all the technicalities of science, but yet
lack little that has scientific value, are well suited to the reading of
the young. Their atmosphere is a healthy one for boys in particular to
breathe."--_Boston Transcript_.
_DAYS OUT OF DOORS._ By Charles C. Abbott. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"'Days out of Doors' is a series of sketches of animal life by Charles
C Abbott, a naturalist whose graceful writings have entertained and
instructed the public before now. The essays and narratives in this book
are grouped in twelve chapters, named after the months of the year. Under
'January' the author talks of squirrels, muskrats, water-snakes, and the
predatory animals that withstand the rigor of winter; under 'February'
of frogs and herons, crows and blackbirds; under 'March' of gulls and
fishes and foxy sparrows; and so on appropriately, instructively, and
divertingly through the whole twelve."--_New York Sun_.
_THE PLAYTIME NATURALIST._ By Dr. J. E. Taylor, F. L. S., editor of
"Science Gossip." With 366 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The work contains abundant evidence of the author's knowledge and
enthusiasm, and any boy who may read it carefully is sure to find
something to attract him. The style is clear and lively, and there are
many good illustrations."--_Nature_.
_THE ORIGIN OF FLORAL STRUCTURES_ through Insects and other Agencies. By
the Rev. George Henslow, Professor of Botany, Queen's College. With
numerous Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"Much has been written on the structure of flowers, and it might seem
almost superfluous to attempt to say anything more on the subject, but it
is only within the last few years that a new literature has sprung up,
in which the authors have described their observations and given their
interpretations of the uses of floral mechanisms, more especially in
connection with the processes of fertilization."--_From Introduction_.

_THE GARDEN'S STORY;_ or, Pleasures and Trials of an Amateur Gardener. By
George H. Ellwanger. With Head and Tail Pieces by Rhead. 12mo. Cloth,
extra, $1.50.
"Mr. Ellwanger's instinct rarely errs in matters of taste. He writes out
of the fullness of experimental knowledge, but his knowledge differs from
that of many a trained cultivator in that his skill in garden practice is
guided by a refined æsthetic sensibility, and his appreciation of what
is beautiful in nature is healthy, hearty, and catholic. His record of
the garden year, as we have said, begins with the earliest violet, and
it follows the season through until the witch-hazel is blossoming on the
border of the wintry woods.... This little book can not fail to give
pleasure 10 all who take a genuine interest in rural life."--_New York
Tribune_.
_THE ORIGIN OF CULTIVATED PLANTS._ By Alphonse de Candolle. 12mo. Cloth,
$2.00.
"Though a fact familiar to botanists, it is not generally known hew
great is the uncertainty as to the origin of many of the most important
cultivated plants. ... In endeavoring to unravel the matter, a knowledge
of botany, of geography, of geology, of history, and of philosophy is
required. By a combination of testimony derived from these sources
M. de Candolle has been enabled to determine the botanical origin
aid geographical source of the large proportion of species he deals
with."--_The Athenæum_.
_THE FOLK-LORE OF PLANTS._ By T. F. Thiselton Dyer, M. A. 121110. Cloth,
$1.50.
"A handsome and deeply interesting volume.... In all respects the book is
excellent. Its arrangement is simple and intelligible, its style bright
and alluring.... To all who seek an introduction to one of the most
attractive branches of folk-lore, this delightful volume may be warmly
commended."--_Notes and Queries_.
_FLOWERS AND THEIR PEDIGREES._ By Grant Allen, author of "Vignettes of
Nature," etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"No writer treats scientific subjects with so much ease and charm of
style as Mr. Grant Allen. The study is a delightful one, and the hook is
fascinating to any one who has either love for flowers or curiosity about
them."--_Hartford Courant_.
"Any one with even a smattering of botanical knowledge, and with either a
heart or mind, must be charmed with this collection of essays."--_Chicago
Evening Journal_.
_THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF PLANTS._ By Sir J. William Dawson, F. R. S.
Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"The object of this work is to give, in a connected form, a summary of
the development of the vegetable kingdom in geological time. To the
geologist and botanist the subject is one of importance with reference to
their special pursuits, and one on which it has not been easy to find any
convenient manual of information. It is hoped that its treatment in the
present volume will also be found sufficiently simple and popular to be
attractive to the general reader."--_From the Preface_.

_IDLE DAYS IN PATAGONIA._ By W. H. Hudson, C. M. Z. S., author of "The
Naturalist in La Plata," etc. With 27 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00.
"Of all modern books of travel it is certainly one of the most original,
and many, we are sure, will also find it one of the most interesting and
suggestive."--_New York Tribune_.
"Mr. Hudson's remarks on color and expression of eyes in man and animals
are reserved for a second chapter, 'Concerning Eyes.' He is eloquent upon
the pleasures afforded by 'Bird Music in South America,' and relates
some romantic tales of white men in captivity to savages. But it makes
very little difference what is the topic when Mr. Hudson writes. He
calls up bright images of things unseen, and is a thoroughly agreeable
companion."--_Philadelphia Ledger_.
_THE NATURALIST IN LA PLATA._ By W. H. Hudson, C. M. Z. S., author of "Idle
Days in Patagonia," and joint author of "Argentine Ornithology." With 27
Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00.
"Mr. Hudson is not only a clever naturalist, but he possesses the rare
gift of interesting his readers in whatever attracts him, and of being
dissatisfied with mere observation unless it enables him to philosophize
as well. With his lucid accounts of bird, beast, and insect, no one will
fail to be delighted."--_London Academy_.
"A notably clear and interesting account of scientific observation and
research. Mr. Hudson has a keen eye for the phenomena with which the
naturalist is concerned, and a lucid and delightful way of writing
about them, so that any reader may be charmed by the narrative and the
reflections here set forth. It is easy to follow him, and we get our
information agreeably as he conducts us over the desert pampas, and makes
us acquainted with the results of his studies of animals, insects, and
birds."--_New York Sun_.
_THE NATURALIST ON THE RIVER AMAZONS._ By Henry Walter Bates, F. R. S.,
late Assistant Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society. With a Memoir
of the Author, by Edward Clodd. With Map and numerous Illustrations. 8vo.
Cloth, $5.00.
"This famous work is a natural history classic."--_London Literary World_.
"More than thirty years have passed since the first appearance of 'The
Naturalist on the River Amazons,' which Darwin unhesitatingly pronounced
the best book on natural history which ever appeared in England. The
work still retains its prime interest, and in rereading it one can not
but be impressed by the way in which the prophetic theories, disputed
and ridiculed at the time, have since been accepted. Such is the common
experience of those who keep a few paces in advance of their generation.
Bates was a 'born' naturalist."--_Philadelphia Ledger_.
"No man was better prepared or gave himself up more thoroughly to
the task of studying an almost unknown fauna, or showed a zeal more
indefatigable in prosecuting his researches, than Bates. As a collector
alone his reputation would be second to none, but there is a great deal
more than sheer industry to be cited. The naturalist of the Amazons is,
par excellence, possessed of a happy literary style. He is always clear
and distinct. He tells of the wonders of tropical growth so that you can
understand them all."--_New York Times_.
