=Creatures of the Sea.=
=Being the Life Stories of Some Sea Birds, Beasts, and Fishes.=
By FRANK T. BULLEN, F.R.G.S.,
Author of ‘The Cruise of the “Cachalot,”’ etc.
With Forty Illustrations by THEO. CARRERAS.
Demy 8vo. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 7s. 6d.
Mr. Bullen takes his readers long and pleasant voyages
over the vast expanse of the Ocean, and enables them to
see with something of his own keenness of observation and
sympathetic interest the wonderful varieties of animate
life that are found upon and beneath its mighty waters.
_Those familiar with Mr. Bullen’s style hardly need to
be told that there is nothing of the dry scientific
character about these studies. His vivid and glowing
pictures of the wonderful and varied life of the Deep
Sea possess a human and lifelike quality often absent
from the elaborate descriptions of severer scientific and
technical treatises._

In regard to the precise form of the Tabernacle, so
much necessarily depended upon a true understanding of
the various linear measures of the Old Testament, that
reconstruction was always attended with some doubt. Mr.
Caldecott believes, however, that he has solved the last
difficulty. =The Bible reader will find the volume of
absorbing interest. Its text is finely illustrated by
maps and plans specially prepared for the work. Professor
Sayce contributes a commendatory Preface.=
