NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 14@. 



bound to admit that in carrying out his own views he 

 has produced a inost instructive and readable volume, 

 and one well calculated to assist the student in his 

 apparently dry, but really attractive search into the 

 primeval antiquities of these islands. 



Miss Catlow's abilities as a naturalist, and her tact 

 In popularising any subject she undertakes, are too well 

 known to need reiteration on this occasion. We have 

 merely alluded to her possession of those excellent 

 qualities, because our doing so enables us most briefly 

 and most effectually to point out the characteristics of 

 her Popular Scripture Zoology, containing a Familiar 

 History of the Animals mentioned in the Bible, which, got 

 up in the attractive style for which the natural history 

 publications of Messrs. Reeve are always distinguished, 

 forms a volume which at this prize-giving season well 

 deserves the attention of parents and teachers. 



The two new parts of Longman's Traveller's Library 

 are little books of great interest and importance. Mr, 

 Hope's Britanny and the Bible ; with Remarks on the 

 French People and their Affairs, consists of Notes 

 written at the moment during several years' residence 

 in different parts of that country, and treat principally 

 of the spread of the Scriptures in Britanny, effected as 

 it Is chiefly by the labours of Englishmen, and by 

 English aid — although that portion of the book which 

 contains his observations on the late Revolution in 

 France will probably be read with the greatest interest. 

 Mr. Hope is somewhat of an alarmist : but his advice 

 to us, " In fine, trust in Providence, and keep your 

 powder dry, — very drt/, and the flask in order," is too full 

 of common sense to be neglected. — Mr. T. Lindley 

 Kemp's Natural History of Creation is an ably written 

 attempt to describe the laws by which Chaos became 

 gradually fit for the occupation of plants and animals ; 

 to show the Creation that Is daily going on around 

 us, and the causes of disease upon living bodies. The 

 impressions left by this little book upon the mind will 

 far outlast the railway trip during which it may be 

 perused.
