P E E r A C E, 



This little work is simply a popu/ar 

 account of the " Common Objects of the 

 Sea-Shore," and is restricted to those ob- 

 jects which every visitor to the sea-side is 

 sure to find on every coast. For descrip- 

 tions of those creatures which only inhabit 

 certain localities, and those whose lives are 

 passed in the deep water, requiring the 

 dredge, the net, or the drag to bring them 

 to the light of day, the reader is referred 

 to those magnificent and comprehensive 

 works that have been written for the pur- 

 pose of illustrating particular branches of 

 science.
