*‘Tt will be welcome news to boys who are fascinated by wild life that the second 
volume of ‘The Library for Young Naturalists’ has made its appearance. ... The 
author’s manner is engaging, and he gives just the kind of information that is wanted 
by the lover of animals.’ —AZorning Post. 
“‘Tt is not only a genuinely instructive work, but one in which the simple and engag- 
ing literary style and the bold pictures combine to give a lively interest to the subject. 
It is a capital book for a growing boy who is curious about beasts.” —7he Scotsman. 
‘‘This is an addition to the very attractive ‘Library for Young Naturalists,’ edited by 
F. G. Aflalo, F.R.G.s. Mr. Bryden knows how to make the ‘dry bones of Science’ into 
an appetising dish for young readers, and his book cannot fail to be a favourite with all 
who are fortunate enough to get it.”"—Pudlishers’ Circular. 
‘“No better writer of a work on the fauna of the Dark Continent could have been 
selected than Mr. Bryden, whose personal acquaintance with the country and know- 
ledge of its wild beasts have been often exemplified in our columns. . . . . A commend- 
ably full index adds to the value of a very useful and interesting work.” —Fiedd. 
«|. . We have nothing but praise for Mr. Bryden’s book. It is intended for boys; 
it is admirably suited to them, and boys of a maturer age than those for whom it was 
primarily written will find it both interesting and instructive. The book is written in a 
bright, chatty, fascinating style. Mr. Bryden is a thorough sportsman, and knows his 
Africa, especially Africa south of the Zambesi, exceedingly well. . . . The illustrations 
by Mr. E. Caldwell are as true to nature as is the letterpress.” —Daily News. 
‘“‘For the young naturalists, to whom it is specially addressed, it will be a captivating 
book.” —A berdeen Free Press. 
“The design of the books of this series is excellent. They aim at something more 
than the usual juvenile natural history, and yet are unburdened with the terminology 
and detail of the text-book. In short, they are meant to whet the youthful appetite for 
a wholesome kind of knowledge, and are well calculated to achieve their purpose.” 
Dundee Advertiser. 
“It is copiously and well illustrated, and written by a sportsman who has as much 
reason to know about African animals as anybody living. His style strikes an admirable 
mean between the too childish and the too scientific, and is indeed exactly what the 
young naturalist wants.”—Literature. 
“This volume, which forms the second in ‘ The Library for Young Naturalists,’ under 
the general editorship of Mr. Aflalo, fulfils its object concisely and well. For a work not 
intended to be exhaustive, Mr. Bryden has succeeded in including a vast amount of 
information, and he has presented it in an entertaining and simple manner... . 
Mr. Caldwell’s illustrations are particularly good and full of character.” —Academy. 
‘Mr. Bryden is well known as amongst the highest authorities on the fauna of Africa, 
and he has produced a decidedly attractive book on this fascinating subject, well adapted 
to the needs of the intelligent young student. The book would make a capital school 
prize for the junior forms.”—Liverfool Post. 
“It is primarily meant for boys, and nothing could be better adapted to give them an 
interest in natural history than such a series of entertaining chapters as that before us.” f 
The Tablet. 
“Young people have hitherto, so far as we know, not been able to find access to the 
wonderful natural history of Africa in a single volume. This book is exactly what is 
wanted in this respect, and we can imagine no better prize volume for the average 
schoolboy than Anzmals of Africa. Mr. Caldwell’s illustrations are excellent, and add 
not a little to the reader's interest. We hope soon to see more volumes in this well- 
planned series.”—//lustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.
