Books upon almost every other subject have been circuhited amonsr the people, except those 

 relatiiiR to the verj' interesting and important one of Natural Histoky. The books which have 

 heretofore been published on this subject, have been adapted either to mere chiUlren, or to those 

 Avlio make it a tliorough study. Hence, very few of tlie millions of readers in this country have 

 within their reach anything satisfactory upon this subject. This indicates a great and an obvious 

 want, as no subject is more intenselv interesting, and none more improving, than that of tiie 

 li\ ing beings tliat people the globe. This want we are confident we fully meet in the work we 

 here olfer to tlie public. 



Tliis subject is treated in a popular style : technical names and terms being carefully excluded, 

 thus adapting it to the understantlings and tastes of general readers, and making it one of 



THE MOST INTERESTING AND USEFUL OE HOUSEHOLD BOOKS.
