Essay review

Pages 463-467 | Published online: 22 Aug 2006

  • Collier , Katharine Brownell . 1934 . Cosmogonies of our fathers 176 – 179 . New York repr. 1968
  • See, for example Lyell Charles The antiquity of man London 1863 passim
  • Numbers , Ronald L. 1977 . Creation by natural law: Laplace's nebular hypothesis in American thought Seattle and London Hunt is never mentioned
  • Since Boylan's essay was written, however, there may be ‘New light on the Piltdown hoax?’, as L. B. Halstead conjectures in Nature 1978 276 11 13
  • For example, it was still clear to T. Rupert Jones in 1879 that ‘Astronomy, Geography, Zoology, Botany, and Chemistry are especially and intimately associated with Geology in the systematically arranged results of intellectual research known as Natural History’ Proceedings of the Geologists' Association 1879–80 6 238 238
  • For example Nash's R. Wilderness and the American mind is twice cited as ‘Wildness’ xvii xvii xx ‘Lamarkian’ (p. 35); ‘op. cit.’ for ‘Theory’ (p. 38, n. 17); ‘enormity’ for ‘immensity’ (p. 40); ‘elastics’ for ‘clastics’ (p. 151); ‘be’ for ‘by’ (p. 156); Chard in ‘Devon’ for ‘Somerset’ (p. 229); ‘a famous’ for ‘a then famous’ (p. 229); ‘whom’ for ‘who’ (p. 231); and a missing footnote on p. 247 (there should be 186). More arguably, perhaps, the Hardie paragraph on pp. 232–233 should have been deleted; the ‘second procedure’ paragraph on pp. 14–15, revised (notice the incidence of ‘con-’); and Grant's essay, concluded with final reference to Hutton.
