printing ; and we will now conclude, by recom- 

 mending Jenyns's Manual of British Vertebrate 

 Animals to the attention of all our readers. A very

 1836. 25s. 



Since we penned the notice of the previous 

 volumes of this delightful and accurate work, a 

 third volume, nowise inferior to its predecessors, 

 has reached us. Its plan is the same, and there-

 first volumes, for our opinion of the whole work.

 one to procure a copy of it. The specimens of 

 printing in colors are greatly improved.
