GEORGE BELL & SONS’ 
LIST OF WORKS 
ON 
BOTANY & NATURAL HISTORY. 
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 winch 
they are published and the general excellence with which they are produced. 
They tbrin collectively a Standard Set of Works on the different 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 
carefully executed by accomplished artists, and the authorship entrusted to writers 
of acknowledged merit. Indeed 110 higher testimony can be borne to their 
value than the fact that the late Prince Consort (himself 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.
