Abstract
THIS remarkable and very unequal work, many-sided and heterogeneous, is worthy of careful consideration. It is not wanting in imagination, more or less disciplined, and it is loaded with information from the works of contemporary naturalists, now for the first time brought together in a single volume. One great merit it has of regarding plants and animals, not merely as forms of life, but as living forms: the machinery is exhibited to us in motion.
