"The truly masculine minds of England, of Continental Europe, and of Anglo-Saxon America, will prize it as the best book of its time on the best subject of its time."--_Weekly News._

"The most obvious characteristic of Dr. Latham's style is one that fits it admirably for the popular treatment of such topics. He is sparing of words, and goes direct to his point--expressing clearly and shortly all he has to say, and dwelling upon each part of his subject only so long as to shew his mastery of it, and evince an earnest desire that all he knows shall pa.s.s clearly into the minds of his readers. Thus, in two small volumes, he has put as much information as we ever saw brought within a like compa.s.s; and has done it so as to leave no ground of complaint of obscurity to a reader who gives him a fair share of attention."--_Globe._

* "This book ought to be largely circulated, not only on account of its scientific merits--though these, as we have in part shewn, are great and signal--but because it is popularly written throughout, and therefore likely to excite general attention to a subject which ought to be held as one of primary importance. Every one is interested about fishes--the political economist, the epicure, the merchant, the man of science, the angler, the poor, the rich. We hail the appearance of this book as the dawn of a new era in the Natural History of England."--_Quarterly Review_, No. 116.
