so deservedly enjoys.” — Morning Post.

“ The great success which attended the first literary attempt of the Cricket 
last year has, we are happy to find, encouraged him to continue his revelations. 
This second series of ‘ Episodes ’ is even more delightful than its predecessor. 
Never have entomological lessons been given in a happier strain ; rarely has the 
happy doctrine of finding ‘ sermons in stones, and good in everything ’ met with 
so excellent an expositor. Yoimg and old, wise and simple, grave and gay, 
cannot turn over its pages without deriving pleasure and information.” — Sun. 
“Of aU the illustrated works which appear at this season of the year, there 
is none that we admire more than the present. The head-piece illustrations of 
each chapter are beautiful plates of the insects under description in aU their 
stages, capitally grouped, and with a scenic hack-ground, full of playful fancy ; 
while the tail-pieces form a series of quaint vignettes, some of which are 
especially clever.” — Atlas. 
“ A work in which the mysteries and beauties of natural science are made to 
minister to most seasonable mirth, fancy, and enjoyment. Nothiug can he 
lighter, more graceful, or more beautiful, than the fanciful sketches and stories 
here derived from the insect world. The hook includes the most solid instruction 
as well as geniai and captivating mirth, for the scientific knowledge of the writer 
is thoroughly reliable. We can heartily commend the book.” — Examiner.

“ Professor Nichol has done much to make astronomy a lightsome science ; Mr. 
Miller of Edinburgh has thrown the influence of eloquent and powerful writing 
around the fishes and fossils of the old red sandstone. Neither, however, has 
produced a work equal in the particular above mentioned to the ‘Episodes of 
Insect Life.’ ” — Taifs Edinburgh Magazine. 
“We have seldom been in company with so entertaining a guide to the Insect 
World.” — Athenawn. 
“Rich veins of humour in a groundwork of solid yet entertaining information. 
Although lightness and amusement can find subject-matter in every page, the 
under-enrrent of the ‘ Episodes ’ is snbstance and accurate information.” — Ladied
