*,* A good introductory series of books on British Natural History for the 
use of students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present in use 
nave been too much compiled from antiquated sources; while the figures, copied 
in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accurate, the 
colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 
sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. . 
The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 
most advanced point; and the figures, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, 
by the artist most highly renowned in each department for his technical know- 
ledge of the subjects, will in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and 
coloured separately by hand.
