Mantell, Gideon Algernon
Geology -- Juvenile literature
_In twelve chapters, each being the Entomological lesson for the month._
"Judiciously executed, with excellent figures of the commoner
species, for the use of young beginners."--_Annual Address of the
President of the Entomological Society._
"Miss Catlow's 'Popular British Entomology' contains an introductory
chapter or two on classification, which are followed by brief generic
and specific descriptions in English of above 200 of the commoner
British species, together with accurate figures of about 70 of those
described. The work is beautifully printed, and the figures nicely
coloured, and will be quite a treasure to any one just commencing
the study of this fascinating science."--_Westminster and Foreign
Quarterly Review._
