REV. RICHARD LUBBOCK, M.A.

"In addition to the intrinsic merits of the book, of which we can personally speak in the superlative degree as one of the most pleasantly-written of the many pleasant natural history books our language is so rich in—describing, as it does, the 'Broad District'—a country unlike any other part of England, and a very paradise to the Botanist, Entomologist, and Ornithologist. This new edition is edited by Mr. Thomas Southwell, the active Secretary of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society, whose full and accurate knowledge of the natural history of Norfolk better fits him for the task than any other man we know of."—Science Gossip.
"The book in its original form is well known to naturalists, and it would be difficult to find another volume of its size which conveys in so agreeable a manner so much accurate and trustworthy information on the subject of which it treats. We promise to those who have never yet read this book a rare treat from its perusal."—Zoologist.

"Mr. Southwell is himself an authority on natural history, and he has contrived to invest his description of the various specimens with a liveliness and vigour, as well as a scientific accuracy. He has taken care to include every object of importance, and his work should at once take its place as the popular guide to the Museum."—Bookseller.
"An interesting and useful guide to the collection in the Museum. It is not merely a catalogue, but a popular natural history, in which the specimens in the cases are used as illustrations. Sightseers will pleasantly acquire a knowledge of the leading characteristics of the different groups of animals, and students will gain a large amount of sound instruction."—Nature.
"There is an abundance of useful information confined in a small compass, while there are many capital illustrations."—The Record.
"Its collections are of interest not only to the antiquarian and to the geologist, but also to the ornithologist; and the picture gallery is worth a visit."—Daily Telegraph.
"Visitors will find this cheap, handy, well-filled volume of much service."—The Guardian.
