The Aquarian Naturalist

Excerpt from The Aquarian Naturalist: A Manual for the Sea-Side Our lamented friend the late Hugh Miller, in his delightful work "The Cruise of the Betsy" surmises that some parties might have thought the geological chapters of the volume more entertaining if all the geology had been left out; and yet, even with such an authority before us, we flatter ourselves that, in a work written professedly on the subject of the Marine Aquarium, a sketch of the Natural History of its inmates will be considered at least not misplaced.
