GEORGE BELL & SONS' 



LIST OF WORKS 



ON 



BOTANY & NATURAL HISTORY. 



THE LIBRARY OF NATURAL HISTORY. 



THIS uniform series of Works on the various branches of Natural History 

 has attained a high reputation, both for the low prices at which 

 they are published and the general excellence with which they are produced. 

 They form collectively a Standard Set of Works on the different subjects which 

 they illustrate, and deserve tlie attention of all who study this branch of science 

 for their faithful illustrations and accuracy of description; the plates being 

 carefully executed by accomplished artists, and the authorship entrusted to writers 

 of acknowledged merit. Indeed no higher testimony can be borne to their 

 value than the fact that the late Prince Consort (himself an able student of 

 Natural History) so highly esteemed those which were published during his life- 

 time that he purchased copies of them for presentation to public institutions.
