Pages : 678
Book Description
Excerpt from The Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 7: And Journal of Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, and Meteorology In taking a general survey of the progress of Natural History during the past year, it, is gratifying to observe the establishment of Natural History Societies, one after another, 111 many parts of the country. The British Association has given a grand stimulus to natural history pursuits; and the personal intercourse, among naturalists, to which it has led, cannot fail to be highly favourable to science, and to good feeling among scientific men. By this means, also, the great object of science, viz., that of reducing it to practice, and rendering it available for the purposes of domestic and general improvement, is likely to be more immediately effected, than by the single influence of the press. The Natural History Societies of York, Newcastle upon Tyne, Worcester, Bristol, Bel fast, and various other places, and the Entomological Society of London, are in a flourishing condition, and some of them have begun to publish volumes of their Transactions. Not only are new periodicals, devoted wholly or partly to natural history, being established in the metropolis, but also in the provinces. Among these deserve more especially to be mentioned, the Entomological Magazine of London, and the Analyst of Worcester.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 5: And Journal of Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, and Meteorology The Magazine of Natural History, our readers, we trust, will agree with us in thinking, improves as it proceeds and this Fifth Volume, now brought to a close, will be found to excel all that have preceded it, in the variety and interest of the communi cations which it contains. For this superiority we are mainly indebted to our contributors, among whom, it will be found, are not only some of the first naturalists of this country, but also others, whom this Magazine has been the means of exciting to enter on this branch of study. Our readers cannot have failed to observe that this work, as well as the Gardener's Magazine, has derived the greatest advantage from the industry and talent of our excellent co-editor, Mr. Denson. In consequence of the increasing number of communications, we have, for more than a year past, contemplated the idea of publishing the work monthly; and we have solicited, from time to time, the opinion of our readers and correspondents on this subject. Our correspondents, with very few exceptions, approve of the proposed change, but we have not the same assurance from our readers generally. We have, therefore, after mature con sideration, determined on continuing the work another year, at least, on the same terms of publication as heretofore.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Magazine of Natural History: And Journal of Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology and Meteorology Periodical works may be divided into two classes: those which are supported by the voluntary contributions of their readers and those which are forced into circulation by the hired communi cations of eminent writers. In our opinion, the first class alone answers the legitimate object of a Journal of Science. A forced' periodical of any kind is like an exotic plant, which requires to be continually nursed in a hot-house: 'a self-supported journal, or one naturally arising from the wants of the times, is like an indi genous plant, or a plant that has been naturalised, and which will thrive with ordinary care and'culture in the open air. A self-sup ported Magazine of Natural History may be considered as repte senting the wants and wishes of the lovers of Natural History of the time and country in which it appears: a forced journal of any kind can only be considered as representing the personal wants and wishes of the parties concerned in its production. The latter description of periodical may for a time be more conducive to the fame and profit of its authors and owners the former will naturally at first be defective in these objects; but in both of them it may be reasonably expected to increase as it proceeds.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 9: And Journal of Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, and Meteorology, 1836 Nine years have now elapsed since the commencement of the Magazine of Natural History; and, during that period, we have endeavoured to conduct it in such a manner, that, while a large proportion of the contributions to its pages have been of a nature directly tending to an extension of our knowledge in the various departments of Natural History, it should, at the same time, not be deficient in subjects of general interest to those who derive gratification from some knowledge and observance of Nature's laws, although they may not enter upon their investigation as a science. To a considerable extent, we think that this combination has been happily effected; and, in presenting our Readers and Correspondents with the completion of the Ninth Volume, we trust that it is one which will not be found to contain less instructive, or less interesting, matter than those which have preceded it. Among the communications which will be perused with pleasure, are several from our old and valued correspondent, Mr. R. C. Taylor, whose contributions on Fossil Zoology and Botany, published in one of the early Volumes of this Magazine, were publicly alluded to, in terms of the highest commendation, by one of our most distinguished Geological Professors, at the late assembly of the British Association at Bristol. We have occasionally been told that miscellaneous communications are allowed to appear in our pages, which sometimes do not constitute additions to the vast fund of knowledge which we possess relating to the economy of Nature. We readily admit the fact; but it should be borne in mind, that one principal object with us has been that of exciting and promoting a spirit of enquiry, and a habit of observation, among those who, perhaps, did not previously possess the taste, or the means, for acquiring an insight into those delightful pursuits which are attendant upon the study of Natural History. Had our Journal been appropriated exclusively to subjects of deep research, and only open to the communications of experienced Naturalists, it might have taken a higher stand as a philosophical work, but it would not have been productive of the general good that it was our object to promote, and which has undoubtedly arisen from the course which we have followed. At the present time, there seems so generally diffused a feeling in favour of those objects for which this Work was originally instituted, that it appears to us a desirable opportunity for the commencement of a new series.
