Cabinet Library, No. II. 
JOURNAL OF A NATURALIST# 
-—■Plants, trees, and stones we note ; 
Birds, insects, beasts, and rural things. 
“We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending 
volume to the attention of every lover of nature, and more par- 
ticularly of our country readers. It will induce them, we are 
sure, to examine more closely than they have been accustomed 
to do, into the objects of animated nature, and such examination 
will prove one of the most innocent, and the most satisfactory 
[ sources of gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought 
to find its way into every rural drawing room in the kingdom, 
and one that may safely be placed in every lady’s boudoir, be her 
rank and station in life what they may.” — Quarterly Review , 
No. LXXVIII. 
44 We think that there are few readers who will not be de- 
lighted (we are certain all will be instructed) by the 4 Journal of 
a Naturalist.’ ” — Monthly Review. 
44 This is a most delightful book on the most delightful of all 
studies. We are acquainted with no previous work which bears 
any resemblance to this, except 4 White’s History of Selhorne,’ 
the most fascinating piece of rural writing and sound English 
philosophy that ever issued from the press.” — Athenaeum. 
44 The author of the charming volume now before us, has pro- 
duced one of the most charming volumes we remember to have 
seen for a long time.”— -New Monthly Magazine , June, 1829. 
44 A delightful volume — perhaps the most so — nor less instruc- 
tive and amusing— -given to Natural History since White’s Sel- 
horne.” — ■ Blackwood's Magazine. 
To be succeeded by 
Military Memoirs of the Duke of Wellington. By Cap- 
tain Moyle Sherer. Nearly ready. 
Historical Memoirs of the House of Bourbon. 
History of France, from the restoration of the Bourbons to 
the year 1830. Life of Petrarch. By Thomas Moore. 
The Book of the Seasons. By William Howitt. 
44 Since the publication of the Journal of a Naturalist, no work 
at once so interesting and instructive as the Book of the Seasons 
has been submitted to the public. Whether in reference to the 
tutility of its design, or the grace and beauty of its execution, it 
will amply merit the popularity it is certain to obtain. It is, in- 
deed, cheering and refreshing to meet with such a delightful vo- 
lume, so full of nature and truth — in which reflection and expe- 
rience derive aid from imagination— -in which we are taught 
much ; but in such a manner as to make it doubtful whether we 
jhave not been amusing ourselves all the time we have been read- 
ling.” — New Monthly Magazine. 
i 44 The Book of the Seasons is a delightful book, and recom- 
1 mended to all lovers of nature.” — Bl ackwood/ s Magazine .
