Excerpt from The American Geologist, Vol. 26: A Monthly Journal of Geology and Allied Sciences

As a writer, who sought to present in popular form the results of geological science to a larger audience than greeted him on the college benches, he was eminently successful. Among the most conspicuous of his popular writings in which the relations which exist between science and revelation were usually made a portion of his theme, the following may be mentioned: The Story of the Earth and Man, Facts and Fancies in Modern Science, Fossil Men and their Modern Representatives, Modern Ideas of Evolution, The Meet ing Place of Geology and History.

The many editions through which these various writings passed and the ready sale of his writings on both sides of the Atlantic, testified to their popularity. Throughout the English speaking world his name was a household word, and a letter of introduction was a passport in every country in Europe.
