Abstract
THE Brighton Aquarium is without doubt the largest and most extensive of the buildings which have been erected of late years for the exhibition of aquatic animals. It also possesses the advantages of being at the seaside, and at the same time conveniently placed for access to the multitude of sight-seers. Though a large sum of money was spent upon its construction, we have been informed that good dividends are paid to the shareholders, and it would seem that the institution shows every symptom of favourable progress. In our eyes the issue of the present guide-book is a very welcome proof that Science will not be entirely neglected in the endeavours to attain material prosperity. Mr. Saville Kent's guide-book is drawn up with a strictly scientific method, but at the same time a large amount of popular information is given in it, and it is well adapted for the purpose for which it is intended.
Official Guide-book to the Brighton Aquarium.
By W. Saville Kent (Brighton, 1873, price 6d.)
