*' Here we have another issue of the fertile pen of Mr. Gosse, and another of his 

 delightful sea-side books. It is fully worthy of its predecessors in pleasant gossip, 

 in interesting information, in important scientific novelty, and in variety and beauty 

 of illustration." — Athenceum, May 31, 1856. 



"It is the history of a month spent by a man of research, in the pursuit of a 

 favourite study, under favourable circumstances; and is full of original investi- 

 gations, successful observations, and pleasing descriptions of the impressions pro- 

 duced by novel objects upon an unaffected and healthy mind. It is a book we 

 cannot read without regretting, as we pass from page to page with increasing 



interest, that we were not his companions No intelligent reader can rise 



from the perusal of ' Tenby ' without gaining much knowledge from a delightful 

 book." — Eclectic Review, June, 1856. 



" Mr. Gosse tells us how he got to Tenby, talks of the places there, — the caverns, 

 Monkstone, North Cove, Hean Castle, Hoyle's Mouth, Tenby Head, and other 

 places to be visited ; shows where the marine animals, his favourites, most abound ; 

 teaches how to get at them, when to catch them in a visible condition, how to keep 

 them, how to study them, and what their points of interest are. Of such matters is 

 the book made up, and to us it seems to be perfect in its way." — Gardenefs Chronicle, 

 May 17, 1856. 



" The natural history is admirable, the descriptions picturesque and vivid in a 

 very uncommon degree, and the illustrations excellent. Mr. Gosse has, in his 

 various books, added a great deal to our knowledge of marine [animals], many of 

 them microscopic; and this book is amongst'his best on this subject." — Guardian, 

 June 11, 1856. 



" This charming issue from his fertile pen will delight scores of naturalists, as 

 well as induce a liking for a healthy and rational amusement among the many 

 loungers who indulge in a sea-side holiday." — Lincolnshire Times, June 10, 1856.
