THE LIBRARY OF NATURAL HISTORY. 
T his uniform series of Works on the various branches of Natural History 
has attained a high reputation, both for the low prices at which 
they are published and the general excellence wth which they are produced. 
They form collectively a Standard Set of Works on the difi'erent subjects which 
they illustrate, and deserve the attention of all who study this branch of science 
for their faithful illustrations and accuracy of description; the plates being 
carefiilly executed by accomplished artists, and the authorship entrusted to writers 
of acknowledged merit. Indeed no higher testimony can be borne to their 
value than the fact that the late Prince Consort (hunsolf an able student of 
Natural History) so highly esteemed those which were published during his life- 
time that he purchased copies of them for presentation to public institutions.
