114 REVIEW. 



I have been a subscriber from the first to "The Natural History- 

 Review" and have been pleased with the almost invariable impartiality of 

 their comments. I am, however, quite of your opinion as to their Review 

 in July last of your "British Butterflies," as explained by you at page 

 35 of vol. vii. of this work. I agree with you that the "discursive para- 

 graphs" and "religious remarks," complained of by them, have, with the 

 general accuracy of the work, tended much to its popularity and success. 

 I have before written to ask you to publish a volume on a like plan 

 upon "Moths," etc., and trust yet to see you comply with the request. — >
