Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore

For
general
Zoology
the
best
books
for
beginners
are,
perhaps,
as
a
general
introduction,
the
Rev.
J.
A.
L.
Wood’s
“Popular
Zoology,”
full
of
excellent
plates;
and
for
systematic
Zoology,
Mr.
Gosse’s
four
little
books,
on
Mammals,
Birds,
Reptiles,
and
Fishes,
published
with
many
plates,
by
the
Christian
Knowledge
Society,
at
a
marvellously
cheap
rate.
For
miscroscopic
animalcules,
Miss
Agnes
Catlow’s
“Drops
of
Water”
will
teach
the
young
more
than
they
will
ever
remember,
and
serve
as
a
good
introduction
to
those
teeming
abysses
of
the
unseen
world,
which
must
be
afterwards
traversed
under
the
guidance
of
Hassall
and
Ehrenberg.
For
Ornithology,
there
is
no
book,
after
all,
like
dear
old
Bewick,
passé
though
he
may
be
in
a
scientific
point
of
view.
There
is
a
good
little
British
ornithology,
too,
published
in
Sir
W.
Jardine’s
“Naturalist’s
Library,”
and
another
by
Mr.
Gosse.
And
Mr.
Knox’s
“Ornithological
Rambles
in
Sussex,”
with
Mr.
St.
John’s
“Highland
Sports,”
and
“Tour
in
Sutherlandshire,”
are
the
monographs
of
naturalists,
gentlemen,
and
sportsmen,
which
remind
one
at
every
page
(and
what
higher
praise
can
one
give?)
of
White’s
“History
of
Selborne.”
These
last,
with
Mr.
Gosse’s
“Canadian
Naturalist,”
and
his
little
book
“The
Ocean,”
not
forgetting
Darwin’s
delightful
“Voyage
of
the
Beagle
and
Adventure,”
ought
to
be
in
the
hands
of
every
lad
who
is
likely
to
travel
to
our
colonies.
For
general
Geology,
Professor
Ansted’s
Introduction
is
excellent;
while,
as
a
specimen
of
the
way
in
which
a
single
district
may
be
thoroughly
worked
out,
and
the
universal
method
of
induction
learnt
from
a
narrow
field
of
objects,
what
book
can,
or
perhaps
ever
will,
compare
with
Mr.
Hugh
Miller’s
“Old
Red
Sandstone”?
