NOTICES OF THE WORK. 

 " With a ' Library' of this description at hand, the Philosopher can 

 study the wonderful works of animate nature scattered over the whole 

 earth, and become acquainted with the size, colour, instinct, and general 

 habits of the thousands of living species which people our globe, from the 

 moth to the monarch of the forest ; the economy of each shewing the wis- 

 dom, and power, and goodness of the Creator of all, and raising the mind 

 by a pleasing contemplation, from nature up to nature's God.' "Scotsman 

 Dec. 1836. ' 



" Rarely has it Ken our lotto peruse a more pleasing and instructive 

 work. .It is, moreover, got up in a style of extraordinary neatness and 

 elegance ; and, even in this prolific age of cheap publications", we have seen 

 nothing at all comparable, in moderation of price, with this."— The A r a- 

 turalist. No. III., conducted by B. Maund and W. Holl. Lond. 1836. 



" We could hardly have thought that any new periodical would have 

 obtained our approbation so entirely as the Naturalist's Library ; but the 

 price is so low, the coloured plates— three dozen in number— so very ele- 

 gant, and the descriptions so very scientific and correct, that we cannot 

 withhold from it our warmest praise. The whole is a perfect bijou, and as 

 valuable as pretty."— London Literary Gazette. 



" The book is perhaps the most interesting, the most beautiful, and the 

 cheapest series yet offered to the public."— Athenveum. 



" We thought our popular embellished works had reached the ultimatum 

 point ; but no ! Here is another, the elegance and scientific accuracy of 

 which, in conjunction with its cheapness, is to us astonishing; the book 

 needs only to be seen, to be admired and coveted."— Tait's Magazine.
