L. REEVE AND CO.'S NEW SERIES OF NATURAL 
HISTORY FOR BEGINNERS. 
A good introductory series of books on Natural History for the use of 
students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present in use have 
been too much compiled from antiquated sources ; while the figures, copied 
in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accurate, the 
colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 
sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. 
The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 
most advanced point ; and the figures, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, by 
the artist most highly renowned in each department for his technical knowledge 
of the subjects, will in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and coloured 
separately by hand. 
Each work will treat of a department of Natural History sufficiently limited 
in extent to admit of a satisfactory degree of completeness.
