THE LIFE OF PHI LI BERT C0MMERS0N, 



D.M., NATURALISTE DU ROI. 



An Old- World Story of French Travel and Science in the days of Linnaeus.

 Edited by G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT, F.L.S., F.R.G.S. 



With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 10s. Gd. net. Just out. 



" The late Captain Oliver's 'Life of PhilibertOommerson,' edited by Mr. Scott Elliot 

 (who deserves the warmest thanks for his service), is a most fascinating work, ... so full 

 of romance and poetry that it is difficult to believe one is reading the work of a serious 

 naturalist who underwent every kind of hardship, enduring the utmost privations, and 

 frequently risking his life in pursuit of the science he loved so well. . . . The story of this 

 gallant and ill-used martyr of science should stimulate and encourage every real naturalist 

 who reads about him, for his liberal and reverent spirit is intensely refreshing in this 

 materialistic age." — Morning Post.
