THE BOOK OF BUTTERFLIES, SPHINXES, 



AND MOTHS ; Illustrated by Ninety-six engravings, coloured 

 utter Nature, By Captain Thomas Brown, F.L.S. M.W.S. &c. 

 President of the Royal Physical Society. Second Edition, in Two 

 volumes. Foolscap 8vo. Price, 12s. boards, 18mo. 7s. boards. 



" Constable's Miscellany has now revived from its sleep, and it could 

 not have chosen a more appropriate sh;ipe, to burst from its chrysalis 

 state, than in the form of the Golden W'ine-od Butterflies and Moths, 

 which constitute the contents of the two delightful volumes before us. 

 The subject is one of the most fascinating nature, and the numerous 

 figures, amounting- to Nintey-six, are executed with such skill and 

 beauty, as to render the trifling price at which they are offered to the 

 public, one of the wonders of the bookselling of the present day." 

 Edinburgh Obset^er. 



*• We c(mclude by recommending Captain Brown's book to the 

 attention of every admirer of Nature, and of every lover of the fine 

 arts, who is enabled to indulge his taste, by the purchase of more costly 

 publications ; and will prove an elegant addition to the furniture of the 

 drawing room table." Scotsman. 



*• Captain Brown is already known as a naturalist, wlio combines 

 scientific knowledge with popular descriptions; and the Book of 

 Butterflies will not detract from his reputation. What are we to say 

 of the cheapness of the work ? Two volumes of letterpress with 

 Ninety-six coloured plates, for 7s. is a cost really far below our calcula- 

 tions, and we should tliink unprecedented in the annals of cheap 

 publicaticms I " Scots Times. 



** We understand that those wingred creatures have fluttered off a 

 large edition in a week or two, and that a new flight is about to spread \ 

 their * gaily gilded wings,' to the view of public favour." Chronicle. ' 



Volume HI. is in the press, and will appear on 1st December next.
