'Speaking of entomology, we should place Mr. Morris' "History of British Moths'' at the head. 

 It gives a coloured figiu-e of every kiiown British moth, together with dates of appearance, 

 localities, description, and food of caterpillar. It forms a han&ome work for a library, and will, 

 we should iinpe, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology.' — The Record, 



'We can easily imagine that the announcement of the publication of a "N.atural History of 

 British Moths" will awaken a strong desire in many of our readers to become possessed of so 

 desirable a treatise. There are probably some thousands, especially among the younger portion 

 of our population, who pay a little attention to entomology, and of these by "far the greater 

 number devote their energies to the study of the butterflies and moths, the two gi-eat gi-oups of 

 insects forming the order Lepidoptera of entomologists. To these, if we may judge from the 

 recollections of our own early feelings, no present could be more welcome than a good "Natural 

 Histoi-y of British Moths." The illustrations are exceedingly numerous, occupying no fewer 

 than 132 plates, and including a figure of every species, and in some cases of the principal 

 varieties. The figures are generally exceedingly well executed and life-like; they are all coloured, 

 and will doubtless afford great assistance to many a collector in naming his captures.'— TAt 

 Spectator,
