 ing account of the formation of shells, and a

 book for the season, or for any time." — Spec- 

 tator. 



" The plates contain no fewer than ninety 

 figures of shells, with their animal inhabitants, 

 all of them well, and several admirably, exe- 

 cuted, and that the text is written throughout 

 in a readable and even elegant style, with such 

 digressions in poetry and prose as serve to re- 

 lieve its scientific details, we think that we 

 have said enough to justify the favourable 

 opinion we have expressed. — British aTid

" The ' History of British Seaweeds ' we can 

 most faithfully recommend for its scientific, its 

 pictorial, and its popular value ; the professed 

 botanist will find it a work of the highest cha- 

 racter, whilst those who desire merely to know 

 the names and history of the lovely plants 

 which they gather on the sea-shore, will find 

 in It the faithful portraiture of every one of 

 them." _ Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History.
