WESTMINSTER REVIEW. " This work consists of an exposition of various 

 ornithological matters from points of view which could hardly be thought of, except 

 by a writer of Michelet's peculiar genius. With his argument in favour of the 

 preservation of our small birds we heartily concur. The translation seems to be 

 (laterally well executed; and in the matter of paper and printing, the book is al- 

 must an ouvrage de luxe. The illustrations are generally very beautiful."

PALL MALL GAZETTE. "Science walks to-day in her silver slippers. We have 

 here another sumptuously produced popular manual from France. It is an 

 account, complete in extent and tolerably full in detail, of the Sea. It is emi- 

 nently readable.. ..The illustrations are altogether excellent; and the production 

 of such a book proves at least that there are very many persons who can be calcu- 

 lated on for desiring to know something ofyhysical science." 



THE DESERT WORLD. From the French of ARTHUR MANGIN. 

 Translated, Edited, and Enlarged by the Translator of " The Bird " by 

 Michelet. With One Hundred and Sixty Illustrations by W. FREEMAN, FOUL-

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW. " The wonders of natural phenomena are 

 unfolded with a graceful and poetic pen, and are skilfully illustrated by the 

 artist's pencil, so that the sentiment of wonder is fed by both imagination and 

 art. It is a charming and very attractive book." 



EARTH AND SEA. From the French of Louis FIGUIER. Trans- 

 lated, Edited, and Enlarged by W. H. DAVENPORT ADAMS. Illustrated

SATURDAY REVIEW. " This is another of those handsome and popular science 

 manuals, profusely and beautifully illustrated, of which so many have been re- 

 cently published in France. The English editor and translator has frequently 

 expanded and improved his original, which exhibits miich research. Physical 

 geography has not often been so picturesquely treated, and the English publisliers 

 are to be congratulated on this volume."
