L. REEVE AND CO.'S NEW SERIES OF NATURAL 

 HISTORY FOR BEGINNERS., 



*#* A good introductory 3er!^s of books on Natural History for the use of 

 students aud amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present in use have 

 been too much compiled from antiquated sources; while the figures, copied 

 in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accurate, the 

 colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 

 sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. 



The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 

 most advanced point ; and the figures, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, by 

 the artist most highly renowned in each department for bis technical knowledge 

 of the subjects, will in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and Soloured 

 separately by hand. 



Each work will treat of a department of Natural History suflfliently limited 

 in extent to admit of a satisfactory degree of completeness.
