TESTIMONIALS. 



"We have read the MS. and have seen 

 thi illustrations for this book, "Rev- 

 eries and Recollections of a Naturalist," 

 and will say that we believe that American 

 students of literature and nature never had 

 such a sweet-scented bunch of roses thrown 

 at them. In this case the Author, poet- 

 naturalist has fifiven us a classic that will 

 surely endure."
