14 WORKS PUBLISHED BY 



ILLUSTRATIONS of the WISDOM and BENEVOLENCE of 

 the DEITY, as manifested in Nature. By H. Edwards, LL.D. 

 Cloth, 2s. 6d. 

 " A little excui'sion in the track of Paley and the broad road of the Bridge- 

 water Treatises. Animals, Atmosphere, Organic Matter, Light, and Electricity 

 are the natural elements out of which the author deduces his pious lessons, 

 leading to a First Cause in wonder, admiration, and worship." — Literanj Gazette. 



DEOPS OE WATER ; their marvellous and beautiful Inhabitants 

 displayed by the Microscope. By Agnes Catlow. Square 

 12mo, with coloured plates. 7s. M. 



" In this little book, illustrated with plates scarcely inferior to those of the 

 well-known Ehrenberg, we have the wonders of the microscope revealed in the 

 history of a drop of water. Miss Catlow's pleasing works on botany, &c,, are all 

 well known, and we can assure our readers that in this little history of infusorial 

 animals and plants of a di'op of water she has added much to her well-deserved 

 reputation. The style in which it is got up renders it worthy of companionship 

 with the choicest ornaments of the library table." — Liverpool Standard. 



" A pleasant introduction to microscopic studies, having reference in particular 

 to the animalcules or infusoria, as they are now more commonly called, which in- 

 habit water and other liquids. The little volume before us contains a goodly 

 body of information touching the infusorial world, with some clearly and sensibly 

 written information as to the species of water, and the seasons, in which certain 

 varieties are to be found.'" — Atlas. 



" * Drops of Water ' is an introduction to one of Nature's inexhaustible sources 

 of wonder and delight, performed in a very efficient and satisfactory manner. . . . 

 As a specimen of typography, it is of a superior character; and the plates are in- 

 dicative of no small degree of artistic skill as well as science." — Observer. 



" An elegant little book, both in the getting up and its literature. . . . The 

 text is accompanied by coloured plates, that exhibit the most remarkable creatures 

 of the watery world." — Spectator. 



" Of the manner in which this work is executed, we can say that, like Miss 

 Catlow's previous productions on Natural History, it displays an accurate 

 acquaintance with the subject, and a keen delight in the contemplation of the 

 objects to which it is devoted. As far as the living beings which inhabit ' Drops 

 of Water' are concerned, we know of no better introduction to the use of the 

 microscope than the present volume." — Jthenaum. 



INSTINCT AND REASON. By Alfred Smee, E.R.S., Author 

 of ' Electro-Biology.' One vol. 8vo. With coloured Plates 

 by Wing, and Woodcuts. I85. 



" Mr. Smee's facts are extremely valuable. His work, moreover, is one of the 

 most vivid interest. Entertainment and instruction are here combined in a very 

 high degree; and the coloured plates add essentially to its value." — Britannia. 



" Mr. Smee is the inventor of a convenient and elegant voltaic battery, and 

 his experiments on the physical process of nervous excitation are curious and 

 ingenious. We give the author credit for his powers of patient observation, and 

 ingeniously devised experiment." — Athena-iim. 



" Mr. Smee has done good service to the cause of rational philosophy." — 

 Lancet.
