Part 46 (1/2)

”To render the subject of ornithology clear, and its study attractive, has been the great aim of the author of this beautiful little volume.... It is embellished by upwards of 70 figures of British birds beautifully coloured.”--_Morning Herald._

”This was a book much wanted, and will prove a boon of no common value, containing, as it does, the names, descriptions, and habits of all the British birds. It is handsomely got up.”--_Mirror._

The figures are drawn and lithographed by Mr. G. B. SOWERBY, Junr., of the _natural size_, from specimens chiefly in the collection of Mr. c.u.ming.

”This great work is intended to embrace a complete description and ill.u.s.tration of the sh.e.l.ls of molluscous animals, and, so far as we have seen, it is not such as to disappoint the large expectations that have been formed respecting it. The figures of the sh.e.l.ls are all of full size; in the descriptions a careful a.n.a.lysis is given of the labours of others; and the author has apparently spared no pains to make the work a standard authority on the subject of which it treats.”--_Athenaeum._

CONCHOLOGIA SYSTEMATICA; or, Complete System of Conchology, ill.u.s.trated with 300 plates of upwards of 1500 figures of Sh.e.l.ls. By LOVELL REEVE, F.L.S.

”The text is both interesting and instructive; many of the plates have appeared before in Mr. Sowerby's works, but from the great expense of collecting them, and the miscellaneous manner of their publication, many persons will no doubt gladly avail themselves of this select and cla.s.sified portion, which also contains many original figures.”--_Athenaeum._
