CABINET LIBRARY, No. II. 



OF A NATURALIST. 



Plants, trees, and stones we note ; 



Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things. 



"We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending 



volume to the attention of every lover of nature, and more par- 



icularly of our country readers. It will induce them, we are 



ure, to examine more closely than they have been accustomed 



o do, into the objects of animated nature, and such examination 



will prove one of the most innocent, and the most satisfactory 



sources of gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought 



o find its way into every rural drawing room in the kingdom, 



and one that may safely be placed in every lady's boudoir, be her 



ank and station in life what they may." Quarterly Review. 



o. LXXVIII. 



" We think that there are few readers who will not be de- 

 ighted (we are certain all will be instructed) by the ' Journal ot 

 a Naturalist.' " Monthly Review. 



" This is a most delightful book on the most delightful of al 



tudies. We are acquainted with no previous work which bearb 



any resemblance to this, except ' White's History of Selhorne, 



he most fascinating piece of rural writing and sound English 



hilosophy that ever issued from the press." Athenceum. 



" The author of the charming volume now before us, has pro- 

 luced one of the most charming volumes we remember to have 

 seen for a long time." New Monthly Magazine, June, 1829. 



"A delightful volume perhaps the most so nor less instruc- 

 ive and amusing given to Natural History since White's Sel- 

 lorne." Blackwood's Magazine. 



To be succeeded by 



MILITARY MEMOIRS OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. By Cap- 

 tain Moyle Sherer. Nearly ready. 



HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF THE HOUSE OF BOURBON. 



HISTORY OF FRANCE, from the restoration of the Bourbons to 

 the year 1830. LIFE OF PETRARCH. By Thomas Moore. 



THE BOOK OF THE SEASONS. By William Howitt. 



"Since the publication of the Journal of a Naturalist, no work 

 at once so interesting and instructive as the Book of the Seasons 

 bias been submitted to the public. Whether in reference to the 

 tutility of its design, or the grace and beauty of its execution, it.j 

 will amply merit the popularity it is certain to obtain. It is, in- 

 deed, cheering and refreshing to meet with such a delightful vo- 

 lume, so full of nature and truth in which reflection and expe- 

 rience derive aid from imagination in which we are taught 

 much; but in such a manner as to make it doubtful whether we 

 have not been amusing ourselves all the time we have been read- 

 ing." New Monthly Magazine. 



"The Book of the Seasons is a delightful book, and recom- 

 mended to all lovers of nature." Blackwood's Magazine.
