we art far from having: done full justice to the merits of Sir C. Lyell's work. It has been quite impossible, within the limits of the space which we are able to devote to its consideration, to dwell upon its great value as a repertory of geological facts respecting the glacial and post-tertiary epochs. We have been obliged to content ourselves with merely stating the conclusions to which our author appears to be desirous of leading his readers, without expressing any opinion as to their soundness, or discussing the evi- dence upon which they are based. That these conclusions will meet with very general reprobation we have no sort of doubt; and we are soarcely less firmly convinced, for our own part, that they are conclusions without theological bearing. Sir Charles quotes a saying of Professor Agasiiz, that whenever a new and startling fact is brought to light in science, people first say it is not tiue,' then, that it is contrary to religion,' and lastly, that every one knew it before The doctrine of the antiquity of the human race has not as yet got beyond the second cf these stages; but, when the time for its final acceptance has o 'me. Sir C. Lyell will be able to look back with just pride upon the share that he has had in establishing its truth. -Spectator.
