F. E. YAKELEY, Quincy, Michigan : 



' ' To say that The Nature Library is de- 

 lightful is putting it mildly. I am a very busy 

 dry goods merchant, and -when I find that the 

 figures run together and columns do not add up 

 right, I put on my hat, jump on my wheel (in 

 summer], and in five minutes / am among the 

 birds, wild flowers , and butterflies, and insects, 

 so plainly described in The Nature Library, 

 and after an hour's ' hunt without a gun ' come 

 back full of life and vigor, and in a short tune 

 make up the stolen hour. If on my trip I have 

 found several new flowers or have seen and 

 heard a new bird, I can by the use of my Li- 

 brary (ivhick is upon my desk at all times) 

 flnd the name, habits, and life history of 

 such, and with such diversion life 'is 

 more pleasant and our hairs do not 

 get gray quite so fast." J <~ & I '04
