“ This work constitutes one of the popular series of scientific
treatises which, from the simplicity of their style, and the artistic
excellence and correctness of their numerous illustrations, has
acquired a celebrity beyond that of any other series of modern
cheap works. With this manual of Zoophytes, and that upon
Seaweeds by the same author, the student can ramble along the
sea-shores and glean knowledge from every heap of tangled weed
that lies in his pathway.”—Liverpool Standard.

him a safe and profitable companion for their children. He wiU

the term ; and he is moreover a cheerful, and at times a merry
teller of incidents belonging to his subject.”—Belfast Mercury.

readers as one which will greatly add to the interest of a temporary
or permanent residence by the sea-side, and which will give
to those who have no opportunity of studying the creatures themselves,
an excellent insight into the extent and beauty of this
section of the deep.”— Weeldy News.

the various minuti® of the publication, are all excellent—such
being the characteristic of the whole of the above series.”—Sun.
