Literary Papers on Scientifie Subjects, 



By the late Professor Edward Forbes^ F.R.S. Selected from his 



Writings in the ' Literary Gazette.' With a Portrait and Memoir. 



Small 8vo, price 6s. 



" This reprint of reviews forms a charming book of miscellaneous essays. The criti- 

 cism is genial, sensible, comprehensive, and compact. It is not common to find eminent 

 scientific men gi-aceful, easy, and piquant litterateurs ; but whenever such a union of 

 claims to public favour is manifested, it should meet wdth honour due. But, besides 

 being a scientific professor, a critic, and litterateur, the late Edward Forbes was before 

 all things a man — genial, sympathetic, brave, and true — a thorough good fellow, as 

 good a fellow as he was a naturalist. The reader cannot do better than possess himself 

 of this amusing and instructive volume, if he have a liking for science without solem- 

 nity, criticism without ill-nature, and with knowledge of the subject ; pleasant talk 

 with a definite result, and a sense of the comic without the vulgar error of turning 

 all things to a jest." Globe.
