Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore

Practical
directions
for
forming
an
“Aquarium”
may
be
found
in
Mr.
Gosse’s
book
bearing
that
name,
at
pp.
101,
255,
et
seq.;
and
those
who
wish
to
carry
out
the
notion
thoroughly,
cannot
do
better
than
buy
his
book,
and
take
their
choice
of
the
many
different
forms
of
vase,
with
rockwork,
fountains,
and
other
pretty
devices
which
he
describes.
But
the
many,
even
if
they
have
Mr.
Gosse’s
book,
will
be
rather
inclined
to
begin
with
a
small
attempt;
especially
as
they
are
probably
half
sceptical
of
the
possibility
of
keeping
sea-animals
inland
without
changing
the
water.
A
few
simple
directions,
therefore,
will
not
come
amiss
here.
They
shall
be
such
as
anyone
can
put
into
practice,
who
goes
down
to
stay
in
a
lodging-house
at
the
most
cockney
of
watering-places.
Buy
at
any
glass-shop
a
cylindrical
glass
jar,
some
six
inches
in
diameter
and
ten
high,
which
will
cost
you
from
three
to
four
shillings;
wash
it
clean,
and
fill
it
with
clean
salt-water,
dipped
out
of
any
pool
among
the
rocks,
only
looking
first
to
see
that
there
is
no
dead
fish
or
other
evil
matter
in
the
said
pool,
and
that
no
stream
from
the
land
runs
into
it.
If
you
choose
to
take
the
trouble
to
dip
up
the
water
over
a
boat’s
side,
so
much
the
better.
So
much
for
your
vase;
now
to
stock
it.
