Shells, Corals, &c. In the Quadrupeds, Birds, and Shells, an example of every 

 genus which has been figured is given. The Classes are according to th< 

 systems of Cuvier, Temminck, Lamarck, Latreille, Lacepede, Geoffiroy Si 

 Hillaire, &c. 



The Zoologist's, Text Book is altogether a new work, with the exception of the 

 plates. The public are deeply indebted to him for the appearance of these additions 

 ' to the department of Science of which he is so able and enthusiastic an explorer."— 

 Edinburgh Evening Post. 



*' This work, although sold at a guinea, is still one of the class of cheap and usefu; 

 books which has done so much of late to cultivate the taste and extend the informa- 

 tion of the middle classes of society. The work, as a whole, must prove a valuable 

 aid to the Student of Natural History, while it aflords ample proof of the talents, 

 perseverance, and extensive information of the Author. A few years ago Students 

 could not have commanded such a mass of valuable description and correct illustra- 

 tions, without expending a large sura of money ; and not at all in so portable 

 condensed and convenient a form. We trust the public will not prove indifferent to 

 the proftered boon." — Scotsman. 



III. THE CONCHOLOGIST'S TEXT BOOK; accor- 



ding to the System of Lamarck, Linnaeus, Leach, and Brown. Dlustrated by 

 upwards of three hundred and seventy figures of Shells, comprehending an 

 example of one Species of all the Genera, Sub- Genera, and Sections of the 

 above Authors, with a Glossary of Technical Terms, &c. By Captain 

 Thomas Brown, &c. royal 18mo. 5s. boards. 



** This forms one of a series of elementary works on Zoology, which the present 

 indefatigable Author has lately produced and certainly, if anything is likely to 

 extend the taste for Natural History in this country, it niust be the facilities which 

 such works afford to those entering upon the studj."— Edinburgh Observer. 



IV. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND AUTHEN- 



TIC ANECDOTES OF QUADRUPEDS. Illustrated by numerous Engra 

 vings on Steel. By Captain Thomas Brown, &c. royal I8mo. 10s. boards. 



** This work is intended as a companion to two volumes which have been already 

 published relating to Dogs and Horses. It contains two hundred and ninety three 

 Anecdotes ; the compilation is therefore a valuable one for lovers of Natural History. 

 Some of the Anecdotes are quite new, and the collection is a most desirable one to 

 possess. There is nothiujo;' abstruse in the remarks, and we have rarely seen a work 

 so pregnant with instruction in the History of Animals, and so amusing at the same 

 time. The Anecdotes of the Elephant and Cat are particularly interesting." — The 

 Metropolitan. 



V. THE TAXIDERMIST'S MANUAL, or the Art of 



Collecting, Preparing, and Presen'ing Objects of Natural History for the use 

 of Travellers, Conservators of IMuseums, and Private Collectors. Illustrated by 

 six Plates. By Captain Thomas Brown, &c. royal 18mo. price 4s. 6d. boaids. 



" The Taxidermist's Manual, is a work of a highly useful character. It is justly 

 remarked, that many fine specimens in Natural History have been lost through the 

 mere ignorance of the collector as to the means of preparing and preserving them. 

 Such a work cannot fail to be of the greatest utility to the Student ; and we accor- 

 ding! v recommend it to the scientific ^nhWc^'^Edinho-gh Evening Post.
