Those who followed this renowned geogr aphi.
cal writer through the frst series Of his descrip
tive history OF the globe, with its wealth of OBJ
seryation and fidelity and copiousness Of illus
uaiion, will be quite sure to welcome this
continuation of the interesting subject. And
II would seem that the distinguished geographer
holds that the ocean is quite as well worth
considering as the earth, for he quotes with
gusto the Pindaric saying thst "water is the
chief of ALL" and that other saying of primitive
nations, that "The Earth is the daughter of
Ocean," This, he argues, lie not simply myth.
The study of the strata Of the earth-rocks,
sand, chalk, clay, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that
the materials Of the continental masses have
been In great part deposited at the bottom OF
The Sea, and have assumed their form and char
acter there. The subject OF the ocean, that is
ceaselessiy engaged in the work of creating a
new world from its depths, and submerging a,
the same time the existing earth, is an exceed
ipRly interesting one in the hands OF NJ Reclus
and We doubt not the American publishers will
be repaid for their enterprise in bringing IL out
here with all the admirable original maps and
illustrations.

the subject TO American scholars by a republi-
