REVIEW. 
Quid sit pulchrum, quid turpe, quid utile, quid non. — Hon. 
A Journal of Researches into tile Natural History 
and Geology of the Countries visited during the 
Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle round the World, under 
the Command of Capt. Fitz Roy, R.N. By Charles 
Darwin, M.A., F.R.S. 
%* This review was written by our lamented late colleague, 
Mr. Youatt, some time — we cannot say how long — before his 
death, and, no doubt, was intended for publication at the time. 
Circumstances intervened ; and but now that appears which ought 
long ago to have been in print. We had thought of putting the 
MS. aside, as out of date. Still, we felt that the readers of The 
Veterinarian would welcome, even out of season, a production 
— the last probably — from that pen which once delighted and in- 
structed them ; and so, at length, we came to the determination to 
publish it. — E d. Vet. 
This is one of the most interesting researches of modern times. 
I know not any thing of its kind that is comparable to it. The 
natural history, the zoology, and the geology of the work cannot 
fail of possessing considerable and close attention from the general 
reader. The work is calculated for both popular and scientific 
readers. We have an account of the zoology of the fossil mam- 
malia, by Professor Owen — the living mammalia of Waterhouse — 
the birds of Gould — the fishes of Jenyns — the reptiles of Bell. 
As for * * *, he displayed many illustrations — in the language 
of Darwin — of his “ never-tiring zeal in the cause of humanity,” 
and for the removal of pain from the various animals that came 
under his care.
