EDINBURGH REVIEW. 1 ' Much of it we have read with pleasure, and much of 

 it with profit, deriving satisfaction in the one case from the process, in the other from the 

 accomplished fact." 



TIMES. "There are very many, not only among educated people who take an 

 interest in science, but even among specialists, who will welcome a work of reasonable 

 compass and handy form containing a trustworthy treatment of the various departments 

 of Natural History by men who are familiar with, and competent to deal with, the latest 

 results of scientific research. . . . Altogether, to judge from this first volume, The 

 Cambridge Natural History promises to fulfil all the expectations that its prospectus holds 

 out." 



DAILY CHRONICLE." There is no doubt that if the succeeding volumes are 

 carried out upon the same plan as is that which we have just received, the Cambridge Natural 

 History will be an indispensable work ; for it appeals to a far wider class than works 

 upon Natural History generally do. ... It can be read with profit by the zoologist, and 

 there is a vast amount of matter which is interesting to those who like the tit-bits of 

 science, but do not care so much for the more serious aspects of the subject." 



DAILY NEWS. "Promises to be, in its own department of science, the most 

 important work of the day." 



FIELD. "We know of no book available to the general reader which affords such 

 a vast fund of information on the structure and habits of molluscs." 



KNOWLEDGE. " If succeeding volumes are like this one, the Cambridge Natural 

 History will rank as one of the finest works on Natural History ever published." 



WESTMINSTER REVIEW. "Should find a place in the library of every 

 naturalist. The numerous illustrations are clear and accurate." 



ATHENAEUM. " The series certainly ought not to be restricted in its circulation 

 to lecturers and students only ; and if the forthcoming volumes reach the standard of the 

 one here noticed, the success of the enterprise should be assured." 



PALL MALL GAZETTE. " Mr. Cooke has selected a beautifully lucid and 

 simple method of arrangement, which permits of easy reference ; and he has the advan- 

 tage of excellent type and first-rate woodcut illustrations."
