NEW SERIES OF NATURAL HISTORY 

 FOR BEGINNERS. 



*:^* A good introductory series of books on Natural History for 

 the use of students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at 

 present in use have been too much compiled from antiquated sources ; 

 whilst the figures, copied in many instances from sources equally anti- 

 quated, are far from accurate, the colouring of them having become 

 degenerated through the adoption, for the sake of cheapness, of 

 mechanical processes. 



The present series will be entirely the result of original research 

 carried to its most advanced point ; and the figures, which will be 

 chiefly engraved on steel, b}' the artist most highly renowned in each 

 department for his technical knowledge of the subjects, will in all 

 cases be drawn from actual specimens, and coloured separately by 

 hand. 



Each work ^vill treat of a department of Natural History suf- 

 ficiently limited in extent to Jidmit of a satisfactory degree of 

 completeness.
