MICROSCOPIC ILLUSTRATIONS. 



" Impressed as we are with the high importance of this branch of science, 

 and with the great value of the improvements which these gentlemen have 



introduced, we looked forward with the most sanguine expectations and 



have now no hesitation in stating it as our opinion, that Dr. G. and 

 Mr. P. have both accomplished their difficult tasks with the greatest success. 

 The coloured engravings are executed in such a masterly manner that they 

 will themselves bear to be seen by the microscope." 



Brewster's Edinburgh Journal of Science. 



" The present publication cannot fail to recommend itself generally, for it 

 is associated with elaborate descriptions and beautiful coloured engravings of 

 a variety of diverting and popular objects." — Journal of the Royal Institution. 



" The notices of natural history in the volume before us are well arranged ; 

 the coloured engravings are executed with the most perfect fidelity ; 'and the 

 entire work will afford a high treat to the curious admirer of nature." — Atlas.
