" Not only a book packed with information which can be de- 

 pended 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 refreshing to have 

 a book that is thoroughly dependable as regards fact and scientific 

 in spirit, yet written with liveliness and freshness of manner." 



The Outlook. 



" The author has succeeded remarkably well from the popu- 

 lar 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. 



" It is safe to predict for this lavishly illustrated work wide 

 and enduring popularity ; there is so human a note in it, it is so 

 markedly well designed to attract and hold the attention of older 

 as well as younger readers." New York Evening Mail. 



" The manner of treatment throughout is not merely in- 

 teresting, it is exceedingly witty and uniformly readable. . . . 

 It would seem that every effort had been made by the author to 

 secure accuracy and modernity of treatment, and his book is 

 altogether one to be prized on every account." The Dial.
