Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore

Miss
Anne
Pratt’s
“Things
of
the
Sea-coast”
is
excellent;
and
still
better
is
Professor
Harvey’s
“Sea-side
Book,”
of
which
it
is
impossible
to
speak
too
highly;
and
most
pleasant
it
is
to
see
a
man
of
genius
and
learning
thus
gathering
the
bloom
of
his
varied
knowledge,
to
put
it
into
a
form
equally
suited
to
a
child
and
a
savant.
Seldom,
perhaps,
has
there
been
a
little
book
in
which
so
vast
a
quantity
of
facts
have
been
told
so
gracefully,
simply,
without
a
taint
of
pedantry
or
cumbrousness—
an
excellence
which
is
the
sure
and
only
mark
of
a
perfect
mastery
of
the
subject.
Mr.
G.
H.
Lewes’s
“Sea-shore
Studies”
are
also
very
valuable;
hardly
perhaps
a
book
for
beginners,
but
from
his
admirable
power
of
description,
whether
of
animals
or
of
scenes,
is
interesting
for
all
classes
of
readers.
Two
little
“Popular”
Histories—
one
of
British
Zoophytes,
the
other
of
British
Sea-weeds,
by
Dr.
Landsborough
(since
dead
of
cholera,
at
Saltcoats,
the
scene
of
his
energetic
and
pious
ministry)—
are
very
excellent;
and
are
furnished,
too,
with
well-drawn
and
coloured
plates,
for
the
comfort
of
those
to
whom
a
scientific
nomenclature
(as
liable
as
any
other
human
thing
to
be
faulty
and
obscure)
conveys
but
a
vague
conception
of
the
objects.
These
may
serve
well
for
the
beginner,
as
introductions
to
Professor
Harvey’s
large
work
on
British
Algæ,
and
to
the
new
edition
of
Professor
Johnston’s
invaluable
“British
Zoophytes,”
Miss
Gifford’s
“Marine
Botanist,”
third
edition,
and
Dr.
Cocks’s
“Sea-weed
Collector’s
Guide,”
have
also
been
recommended
by
a
high
authority.
