•• We believe we. do not exaggerate in saying that, since the publi-
cation of... White's Natural Ill,tory of Selborne, and of the Intr,,duc-
lion to rintowiology, by Kirby and Spence, no work in our language
is better calculated than the ' Zoological Recreations' to fulfil the
avowed aim of its author—to furnish a hand-book which may cherish
or awaken a love fur natural histery."—Quarterly Review, Jan, 1848.

Forewarned is forearmed ; and where the bane is discovered it may
be well to throw in an antidote, In the shape of a copy of this work."

The horrors and tragedies related in these volumes are full •f
terrible Interest."—Literary Gazette.
" The exposures in this work are terrible ; and if It be extensively
read, it is calculated to deal the severest blow ever yet levelled at the
