"We have read more books of the class of the one before us than we can

"A very curious branch of natural history is expounded in most agreeable
style by this delightful book. Mr. Holder furnishes a great mass of
information concerning fire-flies, luminous beetles and other insects,
the phosphorescent animals and animalculae of the sea, and even of
plants and flowers that give light. He has revealed a world of new
wonders to those who are inquisitive about certain mysteries of great
interest, concerning which no other naturalist has written."
