* “ This book ought to he largely circulated, not only on account of its 
scientific merits — though these, as we have in part shewn, are great and 
sig’ual — but because it is popularly written throughout, and therefore likely 
to excite general attention to a subject which ought to be held as one of 
primary importance. Every one is interested about fishes — the political 
economist,, the epicure, the merchant , , the man of science, the angler, the 
poor, the rich. We hail the appearance of this book as the dawn of a new 
era in the Natural History of England .” — Quarterly Review, No. 116.
