INTRODUCTION. 



As heretofore announced, beginning with the present, 

 each number of BIRDS AND ALL NATURE will 

 present at least two birds, three or four animals, and the 

 remaining plates will depict such natural subjects as 

 insects, butterflies, flowers, geological specimens, etc. 

 In fact, everything in nature which can be brought 

 before the camera will in its due course be portrayed. 



BIRDS is without doubt one of the most popular 

 magazines ever presented to the American public. It is 

 read and admired by over one hundred thousand persons. 



BIRDS AND ALL NATURE promises to be even 

 more popular, if possible, than BIRDS. We are con- 

 stantly receiving congratulations on the success of our 

 enterprise, and people are delighted to learn that we 

 shall include in succeeding numbers all interesting 

 branches of natural history. When the bound volume 

 appears it will prove to be worthy of its predecessors.
