About this book
Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel is by Ignatius Donnelly, author of "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World." The text quotes Mr. Dawkins saying that strata of bowlder-clay at all comparable to the great clay mantle covering the lower grounds of Britain, north of the Thames, are conspicuous by their absence from the glaciated regions of Central Europe and the Pyrenees. The text says that the Drift, especially the "till," lies in great continental sheets of clay and gravel, of comparatively uniform thickness, and that the glaciers could not form such sheets.
The text says the word Nibir, which Mr. Smith says does not mean planets, can only mean comets. The text says Biela's comets lost their tails, asks what became of them, and says there is no evidence to show whether they lost them in 1852, 1859, 1866, or 1872.
