POPULAR HISTORY
OF
BRITISH SEA-WEEDS;
Comprising a familiar and technical description of the Sea-weeds
of the British Isles.
By the Rev. DAVID LANDSBOROUGH, A.L.S.,
Member of the Wernerian Society of Edinburgh.
"This charming contribution to the study of a very interesting branch of Natural History combines scientific correctness with artistical beauty."—Literary Gazette.
"The book is as well executed as it is well timed. The descriptions are scientific as well as popular, and the plates are clear and explicit. Not only the forms, but the uses of Algæ, are minutely described. It is a worthy sea-side companion—a hand-book for every occasional or permanent resident on the sea-shore."—Economist.
"A work of much general interest, and one which every dweller by the sea-side, who makes a right use of his eyes, would do well to procure."—Edinburgh Witness.
"Mr. Landsborough's very beautiful volume is meant for young students of Sea-weeds. The volume is illustrated with many coloured plates, executed in a superb style."—Glasgow Daily Mail.
"Profusely illustrated with specimens of the various Sea-weeds, beautifully drawn and exquisitely coloured."—Sun.
"This elegant work, though intended for beginners, is well worthy the perusal of those advanced in the science."—Morning Herald.
"Those who desire to make themselves acquainted with British Sea-weeds, cannot do better than begin with this elegantly illustrated manual."—Globe.
