* " This book ought to be larg-ely circulated, not only on account of its 

 scientific merits — ^though these, as we have in part shewn, are great and 

 signal—but because it is popularly written throughout, and thereiV^re hkely 

 to excite general attention to a subject which ought to be held as one of 

 primary importance. Every one is interested about fishes— the political 

 economist, the epicure, the merchantj the man of science, the angler, the 

 poor, the rich. We ha.il the appearance of this book as the dawn of a new 

 era in the Natural History of England.*'— Qttotrife^ Revieto, No. 116.
