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

 though these, as we have in part shown, are great and signal but because it is popularly 

 written throughout, and therefore likely to excite 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, the 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.
