monography

Before taking leave of Dr. Conolly's most interesting monography, I will allow myself to make only one remark.

Father Maximin said to Durtal, "We are not very rich, but at any rate we possess tools for work fairly complete on theology and the monography of the cloisters."

Dear Sir,—I received your last favour just as I was setting out for this place, and am pleased to find that my monography met with your approbation. 

Dear Sir,—In obedience to your injunctions I sit down to give you some account of the house-martin, or martlet; and if my monography of this little domestic and familiar bird should happen to meet with your approbation, I may probably soon extend my inquiries to the rest of the British hirundines—the swallow, the swift, and the bank-martin.

A good monography of worms would afford much entertainment and information at the same time, and would open a large and new field in natural history.
