Swainson, W., F.R.S., &c : The Natural History of Quadru- 

 peds, vol. 72. of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia. 6s, 



This is vol. iii. of the System of Nature in the Cabinet 

 Cyclopedia : and it may, perhaps, be said to equal the two pre-

 not always correct. The volume, however, notwithstanding 

 these and a few other defects, is the most accurate, masterly, 

 and complete compendium which has yet appeared on the 

 subject. — S. D. W. Nov. 3. 1835.

Of great value to botanists, both students and proficients; 

 and there is so much in it on the physical geography and cli- 

 mate of Britain as to render it likely to much avail those who 

 pursue these subjects.
