Excerpt from Reply to the Criticisms of James D. Dana: Including Dana's Two Articles With a Letter of Louis Agassiz
Mr. Dana has devoted a page of his Review to this Syn apsis, and concludes by the following sentence: without further specifications it is plain that in this History the author has neither dealt fairly with others or the subject. The History of Geology is a matter of facts and dates, beginning in 1809, an epoch quite near, and therefore easily verified. I gave all the discoveries with the date at which they were made, as I believed truly and impartially; - if Mr. Dana thought I had dealt unfairly with others and the subject, he had only to give facts and dates to show this, - but not at all; be con tents himself with personal abuse, and says at the conclusion of the article that I have expunged names from American geo logical history. Happily for me, Messrs. Dana and Rogers published severally an American Geological History, in 1856, and it will be easy to show by comparison, who merits the charge of having expunged names from American Geological History.
