describes._

"This is an edition de luxe of the first work written by our great
naturalist. Anybody who has read it is not likely to have forgotten it.
It is a kind of natural history 'Robinson Crusoe.' It was during that
famous voyage that Darwin made the observations and laid the foundation
for his famous theory of Natural Selection. The present edition is by
far the best and most attractive hitherto published. The illustrations
are artistic in the highest degree, as everybody will understand when he
knows they are by the artist of Lady Brassey's 'Sunbeam.' Most of them
are from sketches made on the spot by Mr. Pritchett, with Darwin's book
by his side."--_Science Gossip_.

_THE BATTLE ABBEY ROLL_

WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE NORMAN LINEAGES.

By the DUCHESS OF CLEVELAND.

_3 Vols. Small 4 to. 48s._

"These handsome volumes are a solid monument to the industry and
learning of the Author. On the whole the book is very much above the
average of Antiquarian productions. The accounts of the leading families
are given with accuracy and generally in an interesting manner. The
three volumes are evidently a labour of love, and reflect no little
credit on the industry, the knowledge and the capacity of their
Author."--_Guardian, May_, 1890.
