"It is, indeed, remarkable for its clear arrangement, and for the immense quantity of interesting and valuable information it contains, condensed into a small compass. It is, altogether, the best elementary book on Natural History in any language." -Lawrence's Lectures. "The Professor begins his Manual by the consideration of natural bodies in general, and their division into three kingdoms. He prefaces the summary of the objects of these three grand divisions of nature by some very appropriate and comprehensive observations, expressed in concise, but plain and perspicuous language. With respect to the translation, we profess ourselves perfectly satisfied, and this from a comparison of the original with the translated copy. In fine, wo cannot express our opinion more appropriately than in the words of the motto, taken from the celebrated Lectures of Mr. Lawrence, It is altogethe the best elementary book on Natural History in any language.”—Imperial Mag.
