“This reprint of reviews forms a charming book of miscellaneous essays. The criti¬ 
cism is genial, sensible, comprehensive, and compact. It is not common to find eminent 
scientific men graceful, easy, and piquant litteratewrs; but whenever such a union of 
claims to public favour is manifested, it should meet with honour due. But, besides 
being a scientific professor, a critic, and litteratewr , the late Edward Forbes was before 
all things a man—genial, sympathetic, brave, and true—a thorough good fellow, as 
good a fellow as he was a naturalist. The reader cannot do better than possess himself 
of this amusing and instructive volume, if he have a liking for science without solem¬ 
nity, criticism without ill-nature, and with knowledge of the subject; pleasant talk 
with a definite result, and a sense of the comic without the vulgar error of turning- 
all things to a jest.” Globe.
