" This charming volume which we strongly recommend to our readers., .largely 

 enters hito the private history [of the Sea Anemones and otlier Zoophytes], and to the 

 attractions of an engaging style and healthy piety, adds the accompanimeut of elabo- 

 rately coloured drawings of the animals themselves.*'— Zei«*rc R(mT^ Feb. 9, 1854. 



" Scarcely have we pronounced a most favourable opinion of Mr. Oosse'a ' Naturalist's 

 Sojourn In Jamaica' than we are called upon to review another book from the same 

 pen, equally beautiful, equally amusing, and equally Instructive.. .This is a fit com- 

 panion to the ' Sojourn ;* like that it is a series of pictures whiclh it must delight 

 the lover of nature to look upon., .the animals of the sea are here revealed to us in 

 all their most attractive forms."— ^oo2oy&^ Oct. 1853.

THE BIEDS OF JAMAICA. Post 8vo. 10s. 



" A man must have a healthy mind who can ■write in this enjoying and 

 enjoyable way : a more delightful hook than Mr. Gosae's we have seldom 

 met with; it quite glows with tropical beauty and life." — Chriatiom 



THE CANADIAN NATUEALIST. A Series of Con- 

 versations on the Natural History of Lower Canada. 

 With 44 Illustrations. Post 8vo. 12s. 



" Were we to attempt to make extracts to shew the beauties of this 

 fascinating work, we should reprint the whole. We have rarely met with 

 information so delightfully conveyed, and in so small a compass. The 

 illustrations are worthy of the letter-press, and this is giving them no 

 small praise. The ' Canadian Naturalist' will be as popular as White's 

 Natural History of Selborne." — Church of England Quarterly Review. 



LONDON: JOHN VAN VOORST, 1, PATERNOSTER ROW. 



A NATUEALIST'S SOJOURN IN JAMAICA. With 

 coloured Plates. Post 8vo. 14s. 



" The work consists of a series of interesting notes and descriptions of 

 animal and vegetable life, with occasional vivid pictures of scenery. It is 

 by far the best delineation of the aspect of animate nature in the tropical 

 islands of the western hemisphere that we have yet seen; and this is no 

 mean praise, since several excellent volumes have been devoted to this 

 region. It is written in a remarkably pleasing style, and is as attractive 



to the ordinary as to the scientific reader Mr. Gosse is an able artist as 



well as naturalist, and has embellished his book with several well-chosen 

 views of Jamaica Scenery, and some spirited coloured drawings of remark- 

 able animals, especially of reptiles ana fishes. They increase the attrac- 

 tions of a volume, which is sure to add to its author's fame, and to find a 

 permanent place on the shelves of every good library." — Literary 6azeUe.
