P R E F A C E . 



A YEAR contains only fifty-two weeks, but in every 

 week all kinds of things happen in nature. This 

 little book is a cursory record of one year, week by 

 week, and its republication in this shape is due to 

 encouraging requests by readers of the Daily Graphic 

 and the kind permission of its proprietors. 



The blank pages are supplied for readers to record 

 their own notes of the passing seasons, with the 

 intervening chapters as a guide for comparison with 

 the year that is past.
