FROM THE PUBLISHER. 



We beg leave again most respectfully to lay before 

 our numerous readers and admirers a new Volume 

 of our favourite Work, upon a subject which we trust 

 will be esteemed second to none of its predecessors, 

 not only as regards the beauty and variety of the 

 illustrations, but also on account of the lively in- 

 terest in the literary details, so admirably kept up 

 by the talented and experienced Author. This 

 Volume completes the Natural History of the 

 Canid^. 



Our readers will be doubtless gratified to know 

 that Colonel Hamilton Smith has undertaken 

 to enrich our Work by another Volume, on the 

 Eqcid^ (Horses), already in a state of considerable 

 advancement; and that the third Volume on the 

 Birds of Britain and Ireland is also in a forward 

 state. 



We are happy also to be enabled to announce 

 that the long promised Volume on the Introduction 

 to Entomology will shortly make its appearance, 

 from the pen of our friend the Rev. James Du>fCAN,
