Reader reviews for Extinct Monsters And Creatures Of Other Days: A Popular Account Of Some Of The Larger Forms Of Ancient Animal Life

From the publisher

Extinct Monsters and Creatures of Other Days is a fascinating book written by H. Hutchinson that provides readers with a comprehensive and popular account of some of the larger forms of ancient animal life. The book is a journey through time, exploring the prehistoric world and the creatures that once roamed the earth. The author takes readers on a journey through the history of life on earth, from the earliest creatures to the most recent extinct species. The book is filled with vivid descriptions and illustrations of these ancient animals, including dinosaurs, mammoths, and giant sloths. The author also provides insights into the scientific discoveries that have been made about these creatures, including their behavior, anatomy, and evolution. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural history of our planet and the amazing creatures that once called it home. It is an engaging and informative read that will appeal to both experts and casual readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

First line

LET us suppose we are visiting a geological museum for the first time, passing along from one department to another with ever-increasing wonder-now admiring the beautiful polished marbles from Devonshire, with their delicate corals, or the wonderful fishes from the Old Red Sandstone, with their plates of enamel; now the delicate shells and ammonites from the Lias or Oolites, with their pearly lustre still preserved; now the white fresh-looking shells from the Isle of Wight; now the ponderous bones and big teeth of ancient monsters from the Wealden beds of Sussex.
