		Dawson’s innovative and creative research in geology, the most popular science of the mid 19th century, together with his efforts to build a strong faculty in the biological and physical sciences as well as in engineering, laid the foundations for McGill’s reputation.
		Dawson was later to acknowledge that he favoured separate classes to protect the refined and sensitive natures of young women from the rough behaviour of the male students; however, he admitted quite candidly that he would have accepted mixed classes had the benefactor so stipulated.
		Dawson’s refusal was also greatly influenced by a gift to McGill from his friend Peter Redpath for the construction and endowment of a museum of natural history, contingent upon Dawson’s agreement to remain at the college.

		William Logan, born in Montreal, is twice referred to as a British geologist; Leonard Horner, correctly identified as Lyell's father-in-law on one page, is elsewhere wrongly credited with being Dawson's father-in-law; and Murchison and Ramsay were directors of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, not of Canada.
		The account of Dawson's career in its public dimension, at McGill (notably including the establishment of the Redpath Museum), in the rsc, and in the baas, is a convincing one.
		She also handles Dawson's success in fund-raising with skill; in that context, and in view of the importance of geology for mining, it would have been useful to learn more about the value of Dawson's work for the mining industry in Nova Scotia and elsewhere in what was to become Canada.

		Born in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, in 1820, Dawson attended Thomas McCulloch’s Pictou Academy, where he was exposed to up-to-date scientific instruments, a rigorous training in the classics, and a library that held fifteen copies of Paley’s Natural Theology.
		Considering the fact that Dawson’s ‘popular’ writings were expressly concerned with harmonizing religion and science in the face of an encroaching materialism, the neglect of this religious background is hardly a minor issue.
		Dawson did make highly original contributions through his work on paleobotany and on Maritime geology, but how are we to evaluate his other scientific writings, such as the defence of the organic nature of the Eozoön fossil and his rejection of land glacialization?
