OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON 



BOURNE'S 



COMPARATIVE ANATOMY 

 OF ANIMALS 



" THIS admirable little book is designed to meet the requirements of the 

 elementary examinations of the leading universities of Great Britain. 

 The book is novel in conception, accurate, up-to-date, and thoroughly 

 artistic in execution. . . . The illustrations, fifty-three in number, are 

 mostly original and altogether admirable. His book is simply charming 

 and well worthy his reputation ; and while its literary style should alone 

 ensure for it a wide circulation, it cannot fail to exercise a leavening and 

 humanising influence on the youthful mind." Nature. 



"This is a very excellent work a work so excellent that in defiance 

 of all precedent it is actually interesting in a high degree. We can give 

 no greater praise. We wish we had learned our comparative anatomy 

 from Mr Bourne. To both student and teacher we give the same 

 emphatic advice buy or borrow his book. It may be that the student 

 will learn how to learn and the teacher how to teach." Physician ana 

 Surgeon. 



"The value of this book is largely due to the fact that its author is 

 himself a skilled comparative anatomist. He has described at first 

 hand, with the actual dissection of his original drawing in front of 

 him. Accordingly his statements have the graphic quality and freshness 

 of original research. Mr Bourne is particularly happy in his explanation of 

 general principles of morphology. The student who has worked through 

 this book may not know very many animals, but he will know and really 

 understand the few that are best worth knowing, and, what is most 

 important, he will have grasped what is meant by evolution." Glasgow 

 Herald. 



"We have here a book marked by great and painstaking accuracy, 

 attained without sacrifice of clearness in exposition or the concealment of 

 principles among a mass of detail." University Correspondent.
