BOOK NOTICE. 



Nature Sketches in Temperate America : By Joseph Lane Hancock, 

 M. D., F. E. S. A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago. Price, $2.75. 



This work is creditable both to the author and to the publishing house 

 that has brought it out in so attractive a form. 



It is a book that the public school teacher, in whose curriculum 

 nature studies have a place, will gladly welcome. It will be found by 

 such an one to be not only a store of information, but also a guide to 

 investigations on his own part — it is both instructive and suggestive. 



By city people, taking their families to the country for the summer 

 vacations, the book will be found a treasure, affording pleasant reading for 

 dull days, kindling in the minds of the young people an interest in the 

 operations of nature, making known the life-histories of many living things. 



With what eagerness the children will listen to the tragedies of the 

 mouse in the wren's nest, the oriole hanged by a thread from its nest, the 

 golden-crowned kinglet held in the grip of the burdock ; with what 

 pleasure they will hear of the rescue of the family of wrens, the deliverance 

 of the song-sparrow from the blue racer, the successful taking of the photo- 

 graph of the field sparrow, etc., etc. The book is full of delightful 

 anecdotes ; and the interest in it is greatly enhanced by the vignettes, 

 tail-pieces and other cuts, to the number of two hundred and fifteen, and 

 by the twelve coloured plates that adorn it. It may be highly 

 recommended ; it should have a place in every school library ; it would 

 be a charming gift for a boy or girl ; it is well worthy the perusal of every 

 lover of nature. T. W. F.
