Book Description
Excerpt from A Popular History of British Zoophytes, or Corallines Were I to say, "this is a very interesting little book," many would conclude that I was nearly allied to a well-known bird, whose mouth is so often filled with the praise of its own beauty. And yet I might say so without the slightest vanity; for I shine by borrowed light, and for nearly all that is interesting in the book I am indebted to my talented scientific friends and precursors. I have been like the bee - not making, but gathering honey. Like the bee, I have formed the cells, and had I been able to equal her in skill, I might well have been pleased with my workmanship.
