Abstract
THE idea of this work is, we think, a happy one, and its execution successful. The object is to gather under one head everything of interest relating to the Tiber. This has necessarily involved a great amount of research, and the result will be welcomed both by the student of history, the “scholar,” and the geographer. Considerable space is devoted to the inundations of the Tiber, and also to its birds and its fishes. Two nicely-coloured plates are devoted to the muræna, the mullet, the lamprey, and the sturgeon. The Tay, at Perth, we should inform Mr. Smith, is no more an “estuary” than the Thames at London Bridge, unless the word is applied to all that part of a river reached by the tide.
