it, aerial and oceanic currents, and the distribution oil
organized existence on it's surface. Il was received
with very great favor and had large sale in spite OF
the high price at which it necessarily sold. The
first impression was exhausted sohe time ago, and
Lew edition was called for.
Tn the present edition the author has svsed himself
Of the opportunity to extend the dontin tf ply steal
