periodicals, in all of whicb tbere is found the same genial spirit, and the same tone of good 
feeling, kindliness, and reverence, which pervade the pre.sent work. . . . The figures are, for 
the most part, highly satisfactoryj and leave us in wonder how they could be produced, in 
combination with the full and copious text, for so small a price.’ — Abketueum.

‘Speaking of entomology, we should place Hfr. Morris’ “History of British Moths” at the head 
It gives .T. coloured figui-e of every known British moth, together with dates of appearance, 
localities, description, aud food of caterpillar. It forms a handsome work for a library and will 
we should hope, lead many to commence the fascinating study of entomology.’— 77ie Record. ' 
‘We can easily imagine that the annonnoeiucnt of the publication of a “N.-itnral History of 
British Moths” wiU awaken a strong desire in many of our readere to become possessed of so 
desirable a treatise. There are probably some thousands, especially among the younger portion 
of out population, who p.ay a little attention to entomology, and of these by far the greater 
number devote their energies to the study of the butterflies .and moths, the two great gi-oups of 
insects forming the order Lepidoplera of entoitiologists. To these, if we may judge Trom the 
recolJections of our own early feelings, no present could be more welcome than a good “Natural 
History of Britisli Motbs. ^ Xbe illustrations are exceedlugly numeruus. occupying* no fev^er 
tban 182 pbites, and includiD" a figure of every species, and in some cases of the pi’incipal 
varieties. The figures are generally exceedingly well executed and life-like: they are aU coloured, 
and will doubtless altord great assistance to many a collector in naming his captures '—The 
Spertator.
