PREFACE. 



T N the little monthly books, of which this is 

 *- the first, we do not pretend to fine writing 

 or essentially picturesque description. Our object 

 is to try to direct the observation of lovers of 

 Nature, busy dwellers in towns more especially, 

 by telling them of some of the sights we cannot, 

 of course, in our small space enumerate all 

 that they may expect to find in their country 

 wanderings month by month. If we are able to 

 do this in any satisfactory measure we shall be 

 glad.
