Excerpt from The Journal of Travel and Natural History, 1868, Vol. 1N 0 line can be drawn between the social or political history of the present day and that of former times. We are living and acting history now as truly as men did in the days of Miltiades or Julius Caesar. Nor can any boundary be traced between the operations of nature in our own age and those in what are called the geological periods. The world is working out geological history now as surely as it did in the times Of the trilobite or the pterodactyle. It may be that all the forces which have at different times affected the earth's crust are not acting now, or may possibly have lost some of their first vigour. But the great leading principle of change, so far as we yet know, remain the same in kind, if not absolutely the same in degree.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
