*• Not only a book packed with information which can be 

 depended on, but one of absorbing interest. . . . The 

 best thing in its field that has been published in this country." 



— Nashville American. 



" Mr. Hornaday is a practical man and he has written a 

 practical book. . . . The descriptions are clear and avoid 

 over-technicality, while they are accompanied by readable 

 accounts of animal traits and incidents of wild life. It is re- 

 freshing to have a book that is thoroughly dependable as regards 

 fact and scientific in spirit, yet written with liveliness and 

 freshness of manner. " — T/ie Outlook. 



*' The author has succeeded remarkably well from the popular 

 as well as from the professional point of view. The result is a 

 book which a farm-boy may study without a teacher and get a 

 proper idea of the animals about him; and a book which a 

 teacher may truthfully follow in the class-room and not mislead 

 the pupils he is endeavoring to instruct." — Ernest Ingersoll. 



*' Here are the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the 

 fishes of the deep, described in clear, simple language, with no 

 ambiguity, and pictured in many cases by photographs from life, 

 in others by drawings of well-known animal painters. We 

 suspect that Mr. Hornaday's book will be the popular natural 

 history for a long time to come." — New York Sun.
