From the Critic, London Literary Journal, No. 257, December 15, 1851 : 

 "A New Weekly Journal of Natural History.— We 



observe that Mr. William Kidd, of Hammersmith, the author 

 of so many interesting and instructive works on Natural 

 History, is about to address himself to the public, through a 

 cheap Weekly Journal of his own. This we take to be a wise 

 step; for the amateur and the experienced naturalist alike 

 require an organ and a friend. Such, we anticipate, Kidd's 

 London Journal will be; and our readers can judge of the 



reasonableness of the anticipation, for we haro u 

 Extracts from his Essays published in the VEJ ' by , mea, »« «f 

 and elsewhere, made them U miliar litfe Qa ^^ Chronidi
