"Speaking of entomology, we should place Mr Morris's ' History of British 

 Moths ' at the head of the list of works on the subject. It gives a coloured figure 

 of every known British moth, together with dates of appearance, localities, descrip- 

 tion, and food of caterpillar. It forms a handsome work for a library, and will, 

 we should hope, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology."

"It is a work which every lover of nature, every one who wishes to become 

 intimately acquainted with the feathered tribes of our land, ought by all means 

 to possess himself of. The extremely pleasing and happy manner in which each 

 bird is introduced, its history given, its habits and peculiarities described, and the 

 numerous anecdotes contained in each history related, impart a charm of no 

 ordinary kind to this work a charm only equalled by that which pervades the 

 History of British Butterflies,' by the same author." The Naturalist. 



' ' The ' History of British Birds ' is one of the most fascinating books we have 

 ever read. It is charmingly written, and beautifully illustrated." Scotsman.
