SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



" This pleasantly written book is well fitted to arouse in young people an interest in the 

 study of Nature, while many of older growth will probably find in its pages much that is not 

 unprofitable reading. . . . The chief difference between this book and most others on 

 Nature-study is the prominence which it gives to geological subjects. . . . Copiously 

 illustrated. " — A thenceum. 



"Mr. Hall's agreeable, interesting, and instructive volume. . . . It should attract not only 

 young people, but anyone looking for an easy introduction to Nature-study." — Scotsman. 



"Comprehensive though it is, it has been planned on clear and simple lines. The terms 

 used are, to begin with, non-scientific, though leading by natural, simple process to the 

 proper scientific words. . . . The author writes in a free, bright, and fascinating style ; the 

 book is equally fitted for use by teachers, or for study by the young people themselves."— 

 Aberdeen Free Press. 



"An ideal natural history book. . . . Ought to be in every school library in the three 

 kingdoms. ... No one can read it without feeling the lure of Nature-study."— Review of 

 Reviews. 



"Mr. Hall's excellent volume introduces readers to practically every branch of Nature- 

 study. . . . His descriptions are invariably clear, and the various subjects raised are well 

 managed. . . . The volume is good value in every way." — Bookman. 



" The book is primarily intended for young folks, but it is of equal value to adults, and it is 

 of fascinating interest to people of all ages. . . . A very acceptable work."— Western Mail. 



" This fascinating volume." — Dundee Advertiser.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



"There are many cheap books on the microscope before the public, but we do not know 

 a better than the one now under consideration." — Scottish Naturalist . 



" It is, however, the work of an expert, and its simplicity and clearness are the result of 

 a thorough mastery of the subject." — Scottish Field. 



" Elaborate explanations are carefully avoided, but the reader who patiently works through 

 the several chapters will have an accurate and scientific knowledge of microscopic possi- 

 bilities."— Pall Mall Gazette. 



"The text contains a wealth of useful advice and instruction. . . . We heartily recom- 

 mend the book." — Entomologist.
