INTRODUCTION. 



" world as God lias made it ! All is beauty. 

 And knowing this is love, and love is duty." 



Guardian Angel. 



11 This world's no blot for us 

 Nor blank it means intensely, and means good. 

 To find its meaning is my meat and drink." 



Fra Lippo Lippi. 



I WISH to advocate for all young folk the claims of the 

 study of nature. By the study of nature I mean, not the 

 poring over books on science, nor minute investigations in 

 the laboratory or the museum, but the habit of taking an 

 interest earnest, deep, and real in all natural objects
