Hi CuAMBBRS publis Jial liis Vestiges of tlie Natural History of Oreatiou in the year 1844. He did not pat his name to the book, beoanse, as he said afterwards in a volume of Explanations, published in 1846,his design was not only to be peraonaily removed from all praise or censure whioh it might evoke, but to write no more on the anbjeot. Except the volume of Bsplanations a Sequel to Vestiges of the atural History of Creation, by the Author of that Work, his subsequent writing upon Science was con Bued to a boot on Ancient Sea Margins, published in 1848, to which he signed his name. Eobert Chambers was a man with keen, powers of intellectual inquiry, and a strong interest in scientific speculation. This had caused his election in 1840 to the Fellowship of the Eoyal Society of Edinburgh, upon the nomination of Sir Charles Bell. He took a particular interest in Geology, and made many excnrsions by shores of rivers and lakes, and by sea-coasts, in search of evidence of changes made on the earths surface by lapse of time. He went in 1848 to Switzerland, and in 1849 to Norway, to study glacial action. But Eobert Chambers had yet stronger interest in the development of man. This drew him to a study of literature as the voice of life, and caused him to pay special attention to the records of earlier forms of civiliaa. tion. Such widospreadijig activity of mind Robert Chambers had in common with his brother William, though William was more essentially the man of business, and Eobert more essentially the author.
