Miller, author Of ."The Old Red Sandstone, .

Theessays contained in this volume are selec-
ted from great number originally published
as editorial articles in the 'sWitness, which was
conducted by Hugh Miller for sixteen years
The topics are, of course, miscellaneous, and
often of q kind whose chief interest was tran
silent; but the manner in which they have been
treated still gives them an independent interest
and value. 1t was Miller's custom to finish his
articles with much care, enriching them with the
treasures of science and philosophy, and adorn-
ing them with the graces of a poetic imagination
They are consequently an exception to the gen.
eral rule of newspaper articles, usually the
most ephemereal Of all things born Of the brain
and, ranked under the noble head Of :. Essays, u
