BY THE REV. JOSEPH H. WYTHES, M.D. 



AUTHOR OF "THE MICROSCOPIST," ETC., ETC. 



"Every grain of sand is an immensity every leaf a world." LA VATEB. 

 A neat 16mo. volume. Cloth, gilt, $1 00. 



"This is a beautiful little book beautiful in its printing, its colored plates, and 

 its whole getting up, and is well adapted to instruct and amuse those for whom it is 

 intended. There are twelve plates, containing numerous figures, drawn with much 

 care, even to minute details. The spirit of the work is excellent, and we wish it in 

 the hands of all the children of the land." Silliman's Journal. 



"It communicates substantial knowledge in the most entertaining way, and opens 

 to the young intellect the whole subject of natural philosophy. The colored en- 

 gravings greatly illustrate these instructions. We have seen no book written for 

 young people that we can more cordially recommend." Christian Advocate and 

 Journal. 



"The revelations of the microscope are truly astonishing; and the effort to unveil 

 the minute parts of creation visible to youthful eyes by its amazing power, is worthy 

 of praise. The style of this volume is adapted to the class for which it is prepared! 

 and the numerous illustrations, beautifully colored, not only add to its beauty, but 

 also to its usefulness." Recorder. 



"The style of the book is simple, yet comprehensive; and there are few men and 

 women who will not, as well as the young, find pleasure and instruction in its pages. 

 The colored plates, showing the appearance of a variety of things, animate and in- 

 animate, as they appear when subjected to the microscope, are well executed, and 

 form not the least attractive feature in the volume." Home Gazette. 



"For children who have any germs of a taste for scientific investigations, this little 

 book would be highly attractive, and would encourage in all whom curiosity might 

 tempt to its perusal, that love of Nature which forms one of the purest and richest 

 sources of pleasure through life." Saturday Post. 



" No more beautiful present can be given to our children, nor one better calculated to 

 enlarge their views of the wonders of creation. It will also furnish much knowledge 

 to children of a larger growth." State Banner.
