CRITICAL 0PINI0^4S 



C. S. SARGENT, Professor of Arboriculture in Harvard University : 



"Of such popular books the latest and by far the most interesting is by 

 Miss Harriet L. Keeler. . . . Miss Keeler's descriptions are clear, com- 

 pact, and well arranged, and the technical matter is supplemented by much 

 interesting and reliable information concerning the economical uses, the 

 history and the origin of the trees which she describes. Outline drawings of 

 the flowers and of the fruits of many of the species, and beautifully repro- 

 duced full-page photographic plates of the leaves or of branches of the prin- 

 cipal trees, facilitate their determination." 



" The value of a book of this character is not only enhanced by its 

 numerous illustrations, but positively dependent upon them ; those in the 

 present volume being of unusual interest; and the book ... is one 

 which should add new interest to the coming Summer for many to whom 

 nature is practically a sealed book, as well as heighten the pleasure of others 

 to whom she has long been dear."— iV. Y. Times Saturday Review.

"The book is learned, but not too much so for common use, and, if 

 carefully studied, it will introduce the student into that interesting world of 

 bird life where a few favored mortals, such as the author, Bradford Torrev, 

 Olive Thome Miller and a small handful more, have won their way and 

 brought back so much of delight. The book has more than sixty plates of 

 the commoner American birds, with descriptions, and a very enjoyable and 

 instructive introductory essay."— T'//^ Congregationalist. 



" It gives plain, practical illustration regarding birds and how best to study 

 them in their haunts and homes in the woods and fields. The plates adorn 

 the pages and give value to the concise, clearly written text."
