E ate gflad to receive daily letters and words of 

 congratulation^ not only upon the success of 

 BIRDS, but also commendations of our plan to 

 run a volume of Animals. 



We propose to give to the admiring public the BIRDS, 

 ANIMALS, FLOWERS and All Nature. To possess these 

 numbers and volumes as they appear should be the aspiration 

 of every one. 



Never before has it been possible to secure such accurate 

 reproductions. It is the marvel of the age. (See preceding 

 page.) And the text is none the less interesting. Mr. Lynds 

 Jones, of Museum of Oberlin College, has this to say : " The 

 reading matter relative to each specimen is not by any means 

 the least of the attractions. Such short life-histories are just 

 the sort for those to whom the pictures would be the greatest 

 service in learning the birds. The picture makes a tedious 

 description of the species wholly unnecessary.^^ 



The text of ANIMALS will be delightful, and the 

 illustrations, produced by our wonderful process, will combine 

 to make a serial and volume surpassed by none and equaled 

 only by BIRDS.
