[1] [Review of The Aquavivarium, by Edwin Lankester] Subjects: | Zoology, Natural History, Display |
Observes that the 'aquavivarium' is a 'new rage that rages still' and something that can bring 'the sea and its wonders to you'.
|
[2] [Review of A Natural History of the Animal Kingdom, by William S Dallas] Subjects: | Natural History, Publishing, Illustration |
Criticises 'natural histories' for being 'too meagre or too recondite' for the beginner, but praises this book as 'the best book of its kind ever published in England'. However, regrets the poor quality of the illustrations.
