UPLAND AND MEADOW. 



A Poaetquissings Chronicle. By CHARLES C. ABBOTT, 

 M.D. pp. x., 398. 12rao, Ornamental Cloth,, 81 50. 



Dr. Abbott studies most delightfully the question of whether birds re- 

 main with us during the winter; whether hibernation is as fixed a habit 

 with any creature as is supposed. Then follow studies of the habits of 

 marsh- wrens, grakles, red -birds, toads, humming-birds; and an autumn 

 diary remarkably full of interest and with many delightfully poetical hab- 

 its of expression, together with accounts of conversations with the country 

 people so quaint and curious as to give a great personal interest to these 

 studies. Any one with the slightest interest in natural history will be 

 charmed with this book ; and those who care very little for natural his- 

 tory in itself will find so much other matter that whoever and of whatever 

 turn of mind takes up this book will not willingly lay it down. Christian 

 Advocate, N.Y. 



We commend this book as inspiring, refreshing, and delightful in its 

 record and humor both. Philadelphia Ledger and Transcript. 



The author has & faculty for using his eyes and ears to excellent advan- 

 tage in his rambles over " Upland and Meadow," and a very entertaining 

 way of recording what he sees and hears. ... It is worth reading indeed. 

 TJie Examiner, N. Y. 



Here is a modern Thoreau with an imagination the like of which Tho- 

 reau did not possess. Things happen to him in the most accommodating 

 way, for they manage to give each story of bird or beast a point. N.Y. 

 Times. 



Delightful reading for students and lovers of out-door nature. . . . Here 

 the author discourses with the greatest charm of style about wood and 

 stream, marsh-wrens, the spade-foot toad, summer, winter, trumpet-creepers 

 and ruby throats, September sunshine, a colony of grakles, the queer little 

 dwellers in the water, and countless other things ihat the ordinary eye 

 passes by without notice. . . . The book may be heartily commended to 

 every reader of taste, and to every admirer of graceful and nervous Eng- 

 lish. Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.
