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

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

 taken in the details of what charms us ? We see the flowering fields and budding woods, 

 listen to the notes of birds and frogs, 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 suc- 

 ceeds 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.

 long time, it is written in a popular and attractive style, it is accurately and profusely 

 illustrated, and it is by an authority on the subject of which it treats." Public Opinion.
