or two on classification, which are followed by brief generic and specific descrip - 
tions in English of above 200 of the commoner British species, together with 
accurate figures of about 70 of those described. The work is beautifully printed, 
and the figures for the most part nicely coloured, and will be quite a treasure to 
any one just commencing the study of this fascinating science; in fact we know of 
no more acceptable present to the young student of Entomology.” — Westminster

POPULAR FIELD BOTANY ; 
nical description of the plants most common to the British 
Isles, adapted to the study of either the Artificial or Natural 
Systems. By Agnes Catlow. 
:£ This is a useful aid to young persons in the country who are at a loss how to 
take the first steps in Botany. In this, as in so many other pursuits, the earliest 
stage is that which is most difficult to get over — each succeeding advance be- 
comes more easy than its predecessor. One of the impediments in the way of 
those who have no teachers, is the uncertainty that in the beginning attends 
all attempts at making out the names of the objects they have to examine, and 
this impediment can only be removed by drawings and very familiar descriptions. 
Miss Catlow, in the work before us, has furnished a clear and concise supply of 
both. We recommend her Popular Botany to favourable notice.”- — Gardeners' 
Chronicle. 
“ How pleasant to wander in the fields with this instructive guide.” — Literary 
Gazette. 
“ The design of this work is to furnish young persons with a Self-instructor in 
Botany, enabling them with little difficulty to discover the scientific names of the 
common plants they may find in their country rambles, to which are appended a 
few facts respecting their uses, habits, &c. The plants are classed in months, the 
illustrations are nicely coloured, and the book is altogether an elegant, as well as 
useful present.” — Illustrated London News. 
“ The arrangement of the work is entirely novel ; it is divided into twelve 
parts, each part containing the botanical lesson for the month. 33 — Liverpool 
Chronicle.

ness.” — Athenceum.
