"We have read more books of the class of the one before us than we can remember, but none that has attracted us so much as this thick little quarto. There is a world of entertainment in Mr. Holder's book." —R. H. Stoddard.
"A very curious branch of natural history is expounded in most agreeable style by this delightful book. Mr. Holder furnishes a great mass of information concerning fire-flies, luminous beetles and other insects, the phosphorescent animals and animalculæ of the sea, and even of plants and flowers that give light. He has revealed a world of new wonders to those who are inquisitive about certain mysteries of great interest, concerning which no other naturalist has written." —The Philadelphia Bulletin.
