Important PuMication in 



MATURE STUDIES, 



A series of Thirty large plates, prepared by Prof. K. G. Lutz, A.M., Instructor in Natural History and Zoology, printed in 

 natural colors, showing the construction and habits of the principal creatures of the animal world; and the growth, 

 structure, flower and fruit of many specimens of the vegetable kingdom, with the various insects and animalculae which 

 fertilize or prey upon them. 



These plates probably come as near or nearer to Nature than anything of the kind ever published. They are absolutely true in color, 

 proportions and minutest details; and have the fascination of absolute reality which appeals to every Nature loving child or student. 



The orii/iii cf each object is shown; its source of !<tibsisieiice and the principal causes af tin fxtinctiim; and, conforming admirably to 

 accepted educational axioms, familiar objects aro tn-ated in the earlier numbers of the series ; and in the later numbers, things of remoter 

 interest. 



Some Opinions as Expressed by Prominent Educators regarding t/iese Nature Study Charts. 



Dr. Edward R. .Sh.wv, Dean of the 

 School of Pedagogy, New York 

 University. 

 "Nothing in the line of illustrations 

 for Nature Study, which have come un- 

 der my ohservaiion, equal the Ijeautiful 

 colored plates recently issued by Messrs. 

 Raphael Tuck & Sons. They are accu- 

 rate, timely and well planned. They 

 furnish a very valuable means of render- 

 ing Nature Study, which is now receiving 

 so much attention in our schools, still 

 more effective and pleasurable." 



Dr. W. W. Pendergast, State Superin- 

 tendent of Public Instruction, Min- 

 nesota. 

 " I think they might be made good 



use of in schools that are pursuing Nature 



Study, as all schools should." 



Dr. Chas. K. Skinner, State .Superin- 

 tendent of Public Instruction, New 

 York. 

 "I have examined these Charts with 

 much interest. They are Ijeautiful speci- 

 mens of work and could be used to ad- 

 vantage in many of our schools. I wish it 

 were possible to place one of your Charts 

 in every Public School in the State." 



Dr. William R. Jackson, State Super- 

 intendent of Public Instruction, Ne- 

 braska 

 "I feel confident that they will fdl an 

 important place, especially in schools 

 where Natural History is taught. I am 

 highly pleased with the illustrated plates 

 with their colors so true to nature. They 

 should serve to give added interest to the 

 study of nature, and in the hands of a 

 competent teacher should prove an effi- 

 cient adjunct to the usual supplies." 



A comprehensive descriptive Iland-Bonk prepared by Prof. Lutz and translated by M. Michaelis, Lecturer on Zoology at the Froebel 

 Educational Institute, London, for the use of both teachers and students, accompanies each full set wi;hout extra charge. 



They are issued in a strong, handsome board and cloth-bound portfolio and variously mounted on fine paper, strong millboard with 

 cord for hanging, on linen, and also with rollers. For prices of complete sets or single i)lates, also for Descriptive Illustrated Circular
