The Mollusca; by George Johnston, M.D., Fellow of the Royal Coll. of Surgeons, and Mem. of the Royal Med. Soc. of Edinburgh. The Fishes; by the late Robert Mudie, Author of “The British Naturalist,” “Natural History of Birds,” and the articles on Zoology in the British Cyclopædia. The Crustacea and Insects; by J. O. Westwood, F.L.S., Secretary to the Ent. Soc. of London, and Hon. Mem. Soc. Nat. Hist. Quebec, Moscow, Lund, Lille, Mauritius, Ent. Soc. Paris, etc.
The present Work is a complete Cuvier as regards the essential part of the arrangement, and it is not a mere translation, but in some respects a new book, embodying the original remarks, but these are always distinguished from that which belongs to Cuvier by being enclosed within brackets. This mode of arrangement was thought to be much better than the appending of notes, which always divide the attention of the reader, and weaken the interest of the subject.
In the present Edition the publishers have added supplementary articles to such branches as seemed to require it; Dr. Carpenter supplying what was wanting to the Mollusca and Fishes, and Mr. Westwood performing the same to his own department of the Work.
