EXTRACTS FROM EARLY PRESS NOTICES 



" 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." Athenczum. 



" 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." 

 The Bookman. 



" 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. 



" Impossible for any boy or girl to read the book without being stimulated to 

 some love of Nature." York Observer.
