Abstract
THE want of such a “Guide” as the present was long felt by “young collectors” before the appearance of this book; but now this want is so well supplied that a second edition has not only been issued, but nearly exhausted, and we call attention to it with confidence, because, although eminently popular in its style and treatment, it is the work of a practical hand, and is as reliable as it is full and complete. In these days of cheap books it is marvellously cheap, and we are led to wonder how a scientific manual of upwards of 120 pages, closely printed, and copiously illustrated, can be produced for one shilling. Everything that the young collector is likely to require information upon will be found by a little searching, which a copious index would greatly facilitate, and which I we hope to see appended to a future edition. We have no doubt this Guide will continue to receive the support it so well deserves.
