Nh CHARLES LYELI-Thc Boston Post, and
aser it, the Albany Evening Journal, do great in
Justice To this distinguished gentleman IN attribute
ing to him any purpose or wish to avail himself IN
the least degree OF the valuable results of the long,
arduous and able labors of our OWL Geo.ogists,
which they have communicated TO him with the
confidence and faternal feeling that belongs to lib
eral rainds We are assured that Mr.. LYELL has
no intention, as the r,lrnor cited by the Journal
charges, of publishing new edition of his works
with notes and additions on American Geology.
He appreciates from his own experience TOO well
the tot! and unceasing care by which these person
al explorations carried on, e"er to deprive any
one of these men Of the praise they have so well
deserved. In all that he has said, IN his lectures
,h,s far of the geological structure of country
ne has stated nothing bu, upon the authority o:
American Geologists; and tho cnlog1um which he
pronounced at the conclusion of his fifth lecture
upon the State Geelog in this country satisfy
every one Of the unsclfsh anxiety for the promo
lion of science with which he regards their most
fruitful lubors. While we agree with all the Post
saws with regard to the injustice of neglecting our
own men oL science 10 listen 70 foreigners WHO
come among Us, we can see no necessity for the
carpng remarks which its correspondent has made.
We are not ready te acknowledge ,ha, any such
preference fer foreign geoiogsts exists or that any
superiority has been claimed BY or for them We
have had lectures upon the same subject here
this winter by Profs. HlrcHcock and SlLLIMAN,
which were quite as we'll attended as those by Mr..





LYELL; and we have not the slightest doubt that
whenever ,aen of science in America, equally dis
tinguished with those abroad, shall deem it worth
their while to speak to their coun,rymen of the
subjects Of their study they will be heard with at
ention and all possible respect. Why Editors
of papers are called upon to denouncc scientific
merely because they belong to another land,
