Dealer Notes
"...Of all the exquisitely 'got up' books that have come under our notice, this work of M. Pouchet's, which Messrs. Blackie have issued, is, in its English garb, the most splendid...It is really a sterling book, notwithstanding that it attempts an account of all the natural objects which surround us..."[Popular Science Review].
