"The book includes solid instruction as well as genial and captivating mirth. The scientific knowledge of the writer is thoroughly reliable."—Examiner.
"The letterpress is interspersed with vignettes clearly and cleverly engraved on stone: and the whole pile of Natural History—fable, poetry, theory, and fact—is stuck over with quaint apophthegms and shrewd maxims, deduced for the benefit of man from the contemplation of such tiny monitors as gnats and moths. Altogether the book is a curious and interesting one—quaint and clever, genial and well-informed."—Morning Chronicle.
