A NATURAL HISTORY OF BRITISH MOTHS. 



Accurately delineating every known species, with the English as well as the 

 scientific names, accompanied by full descriptions, date of appearance, lists of 

 the localities they haunt, their food in the caterpillar state, and other features 

 of their habits and modes of existence, &c. By the Rev. F. O. Morris, B.A.

 Volumes, royal 8vo. price 61. 6s. 



' 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 for a library, and will, 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 desir- 

 able 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 ex- 

 ceedingly 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. 



BEAUTIFUL-LEAVED PLANTS. 



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

 E. J. Lowe, Esq., F.R.S., F.R.A.S., assisted by W. Howard, F.H.S. Illus- 

 trated with 60 coloured Illustrations. In One Volume, super-royal 8vo. 

 price il. 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 hot-houses 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 - LEAVE D 



PLANTS. By Shirley Hibberd, F.R.H.S. Illustrated with 54 coloured 

 Engravings. In One Volume, super-royal 8vo. price 1/. $s. 



' A bit of information as to the pictures may be acceptable. First, observe the tinting of the 

 leaves, and the groundwork of such a subject as Solarium 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, wood 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 indus- 

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