Old Bones. 



Or, Notes for Young Naturalists. By the Rev. W. S. Symoxds, 

 Rector of Pendock, Author of " Stones of the Valley," &c. 



" Although modest in its plan, it is a very superior work— broad, exact, suffi- 

 ciently explained by well-chosen examples, and amply illustrated."— Daily News. 



" A small manual of paleontology, very carefully compiled, and likely to be very 

 useful to those who have not the means to purchase or leisure to read Professor 

 Owen's larger works." — Spectator. 



"A well written and admirably illustrated manual for the student of natural his- 

 tory, and one which will no doubt become extensively popular."— Literary Guzette. 



"Beautifully got up, judiciously condensed, and artistically arranged ; to say 

 nothing of its literary ability, which certainly bespeaks a close and" shrewd observer." 

 — Era. 



" The plan pursued by Mr. Symonds is a very simple one. He adopts the classi- 

 fication of Professor Owen, and carries the young naturalist from family to family, 

 beginning with man and ending with the lowe'st fishes, making his own remarks as 

 he goes on. We recommend these notes. The volume is neatly got up, and deserves 

 a sale amongst the class for whom it is intended."— Atheneeum. 



" Young naturalists cannot do better than possess themselves of a copy of * Old 

 Bones.' It is the work of an ardent lover of nature, with a mind richiy stored with 

 knowledge and high scientific acquirement."— Edinburgh Witness. 



" The pleasing and highly-interesting-style of Mr. Symonds's work is such, that 

 no sooner is its perusal commenced, than the reader becomes gradually and imper- 

 ceptibly entwined in the beauties of the subject, and willingly continues his course, 

 until at last, upon reaching the concluding pages of the work, he finds that he has 

 attained so complete a knowledge of the principles of one of the most interesti.-n: 

 sciences, that he will feel an irresistible desire to pursue his studies to the highest 

 possible point. We can unhesitatingly say that, from no work upon the subject which 

 we have seen will an equal amount of' information be obtained so entirelv without 

 labour, and in so short a time." — Mining Journal. 



"A very useful little work, well calculated- to afford information to the student of 

 natural history." — Observer. 



" We cannot conclude without recommending all with whom we have influence 

 to purchase this wonderfully cheap and yet elegantly illustrated little volume."— 

 Practical Farmers' Chronicle. 



" To such of our readers as may be dabbling in the science, or may wish to have 

 such a general knowledge of its outlines and acquaintance with its nomenclature as 

 may enable them to take some interest in the many ways in which it meets them in 

 iheir literature or social intercourse of the day, we cordially recommend the book. It. 

 is the work of a writer at once eloquent and scientific— a scientific man who has worked 

 up his knowledge, not by manuals or short cuts, but by hard, practical, patient inves- 

 tigation of the thing which he describes, — a clergyman, who has studied nature without 

 ever losing- sight of nature's God." — Church Recieu .
