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

 It gives a coloured figure of every known British moth, together with dates of appearance, 

 localities, description, and food of caterpillar. It forms a handsome work ior a library, and wUl, 

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



'We can easily imagine that the announcement of the publication of a "Natural 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 great groups 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 

 History 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.' — The 

 Spectator,

Describing the most beautiful-leaved Plants in cultivation in this country. 

 By E. J. Lowe, Esq., E.R.S., E.E.A.S., assisted by W. HowAJin, E.H.S. 

 Illustrated with 60 coloured Illustrations. In One Yolume, super-royal 

 8vo., price £1 Is. 



'In this volume we have a description of a large number of stove, conservatory, and garden 



plants cultivated in this country, in which the leaves rather than the flowers are objects of interest. 

 The exquisite and delicate forms of many ornamental plants common to the hothouses and green- 

 houses of the wealthy are here depicted, with wonderful fidelity, in a series of beautiful 

 illustrations in the natural colour of the plants.' — The Bookseller, 



NEW AND RARE BEAUTIFUL-LEAVED PLANTS. 



By Shlrlet Hlbbeed, P.E.H.S. Illustrated with 54 coloured Engravings. 

 In One Yolume, super-royal 8vo., price £1 5s, 



'A bit of information as tO' the pictures maybe acceptable. First, observe the tinting of the 

 leaves, and the groimdwork of such a subject as Solanum marginatum as a sample of the whole. 

 Then accept the information that these pictures are not chromo-lithographs, not coloured by hand; 

 they are all, from first to last, loood engravings, and we imagine, but cannot of course express any 

 opinion on the subject, that as works of art, representative of the present state of an important 

 industry, they are not simply interesting, but remarkable.' — Gardeners' Chronicle,
