" A very attractive boik, which contains a mass of useful information and curious 

 anecdote." — San J^rancisco Chronicle. 



"The book is one that is apt to please the young naturalist, as it is not over- 

 crowded with scientific words of sucli dimensions as are usually a bugbear to the 

 young student. The information is given in a pleasant way that is attractive as well 

 as instructive." — Minneapolis Tribune.

"Which one of us, whether afoot, awheel, on horseback, or in comfortable rarriage, 

 has not whiled away the time by glancing about ? How many of us, however, have 

 taken in the details of what charms us? We ?ee the floweripg fields and budding 

 woods, listen to the notes of birds and frosjs, the hum of some big bumblebee, but how 

 much do we know of what we sense? These questions, these doubts have occurred to 

 all of us, and it is to answer them that Mr. Mathews sets forth. It is to his credit that 

 he succeeds so well. He puts before us in chronological order the flowers, birds, and 

 beasts we meet on our highway and byway travels, tells us how to recognize them, 

 what they are really like, and gives us at once charming drawings in words and lines, 

 for Mr. Mathews is his own illustrator." — Boston Journal.
