The lecture, | °l . | ] as ted two hours, must have cost the thor an immense amount of labour and Sm considering the large number of £f quoted, from Humboldt, Hugh Slier and authorities living at the present ? ' The lecture abounded in facts, statis- S 'mi geographical references, and was ,! M sustained throughout, as was evident: . jjg ]ength and the attention manifested i i!the audience. The lecturer at times rose . il highest flights of poetry, and appeared i Lost lost in dreamland reveries, especially \ m f peaking of the beautiful leaf drapery I the chambers of coal. E c also endeavoured to dispel the illusion that occupied the minds ofMrJervons and John Stuart Mill a few j teaisago about a probable scarcity of coal, j jfliich had ati emulous effect upon the pe<>pit_ j of Esgland at the time. Mr Cornford uiged \ 0 all such fears were groundless, as America alone was capable of furnishing infficient coal for the use of all the house yds. and furnaces in the world. Ihe lecture was illustrated with well executed diagrams, furnished we understood by mem ten of the lecturer's family.
