"It ia certain that a large part of our race would have to perish but for the 

 countless forms of life which swarm in the depths of the sea. Mr. Simmonds 

 has brought together the statistics as to the extent of the various large fisheries 

 of the world, whether they supply food or objects of industrial value. Of the 

 most exquisite and highly- valued product of the sea, the pearl, and of the methods 

 of obtaining it, and managing the pearl-oyster beds, Mr. Simmonds gives a care- 

 ful account. To the sponge, coral, amber, turtle, and other fisheries, he devotes 

 the same detailed attention." JV. Y. Sun. 



"Filled with important and interesting facts concerning marine contributions 

 to food, industry, and art. 1 ' Boston Journal. 



"A vast amount of information is here collected, and the general reader, as 

 well as the specialist, will find the work full of interest." Buffalo Daily Courier. 



11 The Multitudinous Seas," 



With Illustrations. By S. G. W. BENJAMIN. Forming Number 23 

 of Appletons' " New Handy- Volume Series." 18mo. Paper, price, 

 25 cents. 



" Another view of the inexhaustible fascinations of the deep is displayed in 

 ' The Multitudinous Seas,' by S. G. W. Benjamin. Free from statistics, and 

 written in a fluent and picturesque style, by one who has traveled far and near 

 over the face of the waters, it deals little with subjects of industrial importance, 

 but enables one to gain, in an easy and attractive way, a new insight into the 

 myriad strange aspects of the ocean. St. Elmo's lights, water-spouts, submarine 

 volcanoes, icebergs, cyclones, the beautiful and curious creatures found floating 

 on the surface of the sea, are only a part of the themes on which it discourses."
