" The late Captain Oliver's : Life of Philibert Commerson,' edited by Mr. Scott Elliot 

 (who deserves the warmest thanks for his service), is a most fascinating work. ... So 

 full of romance and poetry that it is difficult to believe one is reading the work of a serious 

 naturalist who underwent every kind of hardship, enduring the utmost privations, and 

 frequently risking his life in pursuit of the science he loved so well. . . . The story of this 

 gallant and ill-used martyr of science should stimulate and encourage every real naturalist 

 who reads about him, for his libera] and reverent spirit is intensely refreshing in this 

 materialistic age."— Morning Post.
