From "The Bookseller and Newsman, Volume 11" (1894):
"2894" or THE FOSSIL MAN, by Walter Browne; G. W. Dillingham publishers, New York; paper, 50cts. 12mo. 298 pages.
The adventures that befall this dreamer, when, as a fossil man he is brought to life in the Utopia of A. D. 2894; form most amusing reading. Mr. Browne seems to have absorbed the imaginative styles of Rider Haggard and Jules Verne. He seriously accounts for his many marvels with a plausibility which is almost convincing; and at the same time his lines bristle with a sly undercurrent of wit, which is worthy of "Pinafore" Gilbert. A light love story gives a zest to the book; but the ludicrous incidents arising from the loss of the fossil's right hand; which is broken off before his revivificiation; and the many escapades of the man to-day, forms the bulk of the book.
