The ILLUSTRATED BOOK of POULTRY.

Complete. By L. WRIGHT, Author of The Practical PoultryKeeper. The Brahma Fowl.' &c. Being a Complete and Practical Treatise on the Breeding, Rearing, and Management of every known variety of Poultry. With Practical Schedules for Judging, constructed from Actual Analysis of the Best Modern Decisions. Illustrated with 50 Coloured Portraits of Prize Birds, Painted from Life, and numerous Wood Engravings.

The Morning Post says:

"Never before has so extensive an amount of information, coupled with such accuracy, been brought together, while the style in which the book has been sent out by its enterprising publishers really leaves nothing to be desired. The illustrations, which are numerous and beautiful, are actual portraits of celebrated birds."

The Standard says:

"One of the finest works Messrs. Cassell, Petter & Galpin have ever hrought out. The great features of this book are the numerous and perfectly magnificent coloured illustrations, which are unexampled in excellence. There are also over a hundred blocks of engravings of feathers and other parts of birds, by the study of which it is possible to learn almost as much as from living examples. This is a volume which should be welcome in every large farmhouse, for it is not only a splendid production, it has the additional merit of being eminently seful."

The Glasgow Herald says:

"There can be no doubt that this is far and away the finest work that has ever been published on Poultry. The book is thoroughly readable and practical. The fifty portraits-full quarto size-are magnificent, and the woodcuts are as fine in their way as the portraits themselves. Mr. Wright deserves, and will receive, the thanks of every friend of Poultry in Great Britain."

Rev. W. Hanna, D.D. LL.D., Edinburgh.

"The plan of having a hymn, a portion of Holy Scripture, and a
prayer for each day, and upon the one page, is extremely good; and I
admire the arrangement most when the three constituent elements of
the page were all in harmony. The selection of the hymns is admir-
able."

"For completeness of plan and excellence of execution, the work is
really admirable, and leaves nothing to be desired. I have been

"It may be recommended to students of Philosophy with all confidence as an admirable text-book."- Westminster Review.

"Ueberweg's History of Philosophy' is exactly what Englishspeaking students want."-Examiner.

"The work is concise and clear, exact and suggestive, comprehensive andfcritical. It meets at once the wants of the ordinary student and of the independent inquirer.”—British Quarterly Review.

"The sketches of the various systems and the biographies of their authors, the very full and valuable lists of authorities, and the careful estimates of the bearings of the systems upon each other, all help to increase its value. For certain purposes-such, for instance, as preparing students for examinations-it is admirabiy adapted, better, perhaps, than any other work of the kind."-Spectator.

"The late Dean Mansel, whose authority to speak on such a matter was that of a master-mind, we know placed the very highest value on this work, as the most perfect and impartial of its kind."—Standard.
