Mastodon Mammoth And Man PDF Download

Excerpt from Mastodon, Mammoth, and Man The interest awakened by the discoveries and conclu sions of the working geologist is increasing every year. Many of the facts which would be acceptable to general readers are placed beyond their reach, being recorded only in technical works or else in the memoirs of learned socie ties. The compiler of this little book believes that a work of this kind will be welcomed by the multitude. It is a subject which must needs be of general interest. The usual hand-books on geology give but a meagre account of these colossal proboscidians, which serve only to arouse an interest without being able to gratify it. In tracing out the evidences of the cc-existence of man with the mammoth and mastodon, it is not attempted to prove the great antiquity of man. The compiler has already done that in another work, entitled A Manual of the Antiquity of Man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
