" The outline sketched by Baron Cuvier has been admirably filled
up in this splendid work. The whole of the Baron's Regne Animal
has been translated, with a vast addition of supplementary matter,
including full descriptions of all the species, calculated to render the
work not merely useful to the naturalist, as a book of pure science,
but also interesting to the public at large, as a general zoological
biography, and ornamental as containing original and well-executed
illustrations."—Times.
