* " This book ought to be largely circulated, not only on account of its 

 scientific merits — though these, as we have in part shewn, are great and 

 signal — but because it is popularly written throughout, and therefore likely 

 tcTexcite general attention to a subject which ought to be held as one of 

 primary importance. Every one is interested about fishes — the political 

 economist, the epicure, the' merchant, the man of science, the angler, tin- 

 poor, the rich. We hail the appearance of this book as the dawn of a new 

 era in the Natural History of England."— Quarterly Review, No. 116.
