The Illustrations of "Fossil Conchology," with its sister work, "Illustrations of the Recent Conchology of Great Britain and Ireland,' will be found to embrace pretty full representations, descriptions, and localities of all the known species, both fossil and recent, which have hitherto been met with in the strata, seas, land, and fresh waters, of the British Islands. These have been engraved by artists of established reputation; the names of Lizars, Aikman, Miller, Turvey, &c., being wellknown to the public as men of celebrity. The whole of the engravings have been executed from drawings made by the Author expressly for the work, and amount to 116 coloured plates, comprehending 3521 figures.

"The fertility of this master's resources is amazing, and the manual labour expended on his works would have worn out many an ordinary workman. The outline engravings are finely executed. The descriptive notes are discriminating, and in the main exact."-Spectator.

"A very handsome volume. . . . The graceful designs of the original
are rendered by the engraver with exquisite fidelity. As a gift-book, the
volume deserves to be placed beside the 'Outlines' of a very kindred

This was the first general Biographical Dictionary in the Arabic language; and it remains a wonderful testimony to the learning, genius, and industry of the author. The biographies are arranged in alphabetical order of names, and comprise distinguished individuals of every sect and nation in Islam, down to the thirteenth century, when Ibn Khallikan flourished. Moslem critics have blamed him for enlarging on the lives of poets and historical writers, at the expense of the earned doctors of law; but that very circumstance renders his book all the more valuable to the European reader.
