SPIDER BOOK 



By John Henry Comstock 



This is the first comprehensive book on the habits and 

 classification of a vast natural group. It is a notable con- 

 tribution to the literature of science. 



Written with a clarity and simplicity of style, it de- 

 stioys the false notion that spiders are venomous and 

 detestable. 



Though a scientific work, the interest is held, as family 

 after family is named and described. 



The wonderful habits herein recounted are so interest- 

 ing that the reader will himself go out to watch the doings 

 of these industrious, skillful, beautiful creatures.
