# The Book of the Aquarium/Advertisements

RUSTIC ADORNMENTS
FOR HOMES OF TASTE,
AND RECREATIONS FOR TOWN FOLK IN THE STUDY AND IMITATION OF NATURE.
By SHIRLEY HIBBERD.
“ The work is in itself almost as pleasant an object of contemplation as the thing it treats of.”—John Bull.
“ The work is got up in good style, has many well-executed engravings and coloured plates, and forms a suitable book for the drawing-room table.”—Civil Engineer and Architect’s Journal.
“ Nothing could be more seasonable than this elegant book; it is beautifully illustrated, and, as a present to those whom we love or esteem, we do not know anything more appropriate.”—Cottage Gardener.
“ Aquariums, Ward’s Cases, Aviaries, Fernery, Bees, Rockwork, Garden Scenery, Fountains—in fact, everything delightful, will be found in this tasteful volume. The matter and manner of the work coincide happily, and each in turn well illustrates the other.”—Naturalist.
“ Here is a book which we can honestly and cordially recommend to all lovers of nature, as treating, in a simple, pleasant way, of the Vivarium, Ward’s Cases, Aviary, and other rustic adornments. Mr. Hibberd’s book, let us add, is embellished with remarkable taste.”—Leader.
“ An extremely pretty volume, nicely illustrated. The most casual reader will find something to interest and aid him in cultivating his acquaintance with those portions of the animal and vegetable kingdoms which may keep his love of nature alive in the city. It is indeed no small privilege to find how much may be done, even in the crowded street, to keep us in communication with a plant, a bird, an inhabitant of the waters or the air. We hold such subjects of observation very precious; and the book which teaches us how to preserve them is much to be esteemed as a household friend,”—Gentleman’s Magazine.

THE SEA-SIDE LESSON BOOK.
By H. G. ADAMS,
Author of “ The Young Naturalist’s Library;” Favourite Song Birds; “ Story of the Seasons,” etc. etc.
Designed to convey to the youthful mind a knowledge of the Nature and Uses of the
COMMON THINGS OF THE SEA-COAST.
The matter of this little Manual of Instruction is arranged in Sections, under such heads as
THE MIGHTY DEEP,
Comprising Oceans, Seas, Lakes, Rivers, nature of Water, different forms it assumes, Theory of Tides, etc. etc.
SHIPS AND BOATS,
Origin and Progress of Naval Architecture, from the Raft, the Canoe, and the Coracle, up to the Man-of-War; different parts of a Ship; Sea Terms, etc. etc.
SAILORS AND FISHERMEN,
Early Navigation; Progress of Maritime Discovery; Great Sea Captains and Voyagers of Britain; Present State of the British Navy; Fishermen of Scripture and of Modern Times, etc. etc,
FISH AND FISHING,

SEA-WEEDS, SEA-BIRDS, etc.
Different Species of Algæ, familiarly described; the various Winged Creatures that haunt the Shores, etc. etc.
One great design of this work is to cultivate, in the young, habits of observation and of reflection, to induce in them a desire for knowledge; it is written, as the author believes, in a religious spirit, and calculated, as be hopes, to be of service to those for whom it is intended. In order that it may be used as a lesson-look by teachers, numerous questions are appended to each section, and the meanings of the longer words, which it was found necessary to use, have been made plain by a reference to their derivatives.

THE TOWN GARDEN,
A MANUAL
For the Management of City and Suburban Gardens.
By SHIRLEY HIBBERD.
It is a mistake to suppose that Flowers cannot be cultivated in the vicinity of large towns and cities; true, many plants cannot live under such circumstances, but there are hundreds that will. This little volume is an epitome of such, and while it teaches their successful cultivation, also points out the varieties to avoid. A Section is devoted to Greenhouse Management, Indoor Gardening, and Window Plants, and Classified Lists are added of Selected Plants, with their Botanical Names—English Names—Proper Soil—Colour—Time of Flowering—Height—and General Remarks upon their Nature and Cultivation. 18mo, cloth, price 2s.

The chief peculiarities of this Work are, its division into lessons of equal length, instead of the common mode of division into chapters, each Lesson treating of a distinct subject, and containing as much matter as can be read and remembered without undue labour on the part of teacher or pupil; and in the exclusion of those details of war and bloodshed, which too frequently occupy the attention of children on their first introduction to History. An attempt has also been made to treat every historical event in such a manner as to cherish sentiments of charity and forbearance towards all good men, by refraining from the unchristian practice of exciting odium against whole bodies and sects of men, on account of the vices and enormities of particular individuals.
Appended to the work are copious Genealogical, Chronological, and other tables, from which the teacher may collect facts and dates, wherewith to fill up the historical outline given in the body of the work, if, for the class of children under his tuition, they are found somewhat too meagre. With the exception of a few schools, however, who make History a very special subject, the author conceives that, in the present state of popular education, this little work will be found to contain about as much as can be really learnt in elementary schools, unless it be to the exclusion of other subjects equally, if not more, important.
