GLEANINGS IN NATURAL HISTORY, WITH LOCAL RECOLLECTIONS. By Edward Jesse, Esq. To which are added, Maxims and Hints for Anglers. From the second London edition, in one volume, being a Companion to the Journal of a Naturalist.
We have occasionally selected a paragraph from a very pretty volume, by Mr. Jesse, published under the above title. The author lives in the neighbourhood of Kew, and like Mr. White of Selborne,—who made a small village of Hampshire one of the most interesting spots to the lover of nature, by his ample descriptions of the natural objects which he saw around him,—Mr. Jesse has rendered his walks a vehicle for much instruction and amusement to himself and to others. He principally confines his attention to zoology—the most generally attractive of the departments of natural history; and he looks upon the animal world with so much practical wisdom, being disposed to be happy himself, and to see every creature around him happy, that there are few persons who will not read his slight sketches with improvement to their hearts and understandings.—Penny Magazine.
THE MECHANISM OF THE HEAVENS. By Mrs. Somerville. In 18mo.
Is it asking too much of Mrs. Somerville to express a hope that she will allow this beautiful preliminary Dissertation to be printed separately for the delight and instruction of thousands of readers, young and old, who cannot understand, or are too indolent to apply themselves to the more elaborate parts of the work? If she will do this, we hereby promise to exert our best endeavours to make its merits known.—Literary Gazette.
SALMONIA; OR, DAYS OF FLY FISHING. By Sir H. Davy.
We are surprised in meeting with an American reprint of this delightful volume, that a work so universally popular has not been before republished in this country.—N. Y. American.
