A Guide to Nature 



TKe best General Magazine 



of Nature Elver PublisHed 



A successful attempt to publish a "Professional" Magazine with the 



Amateur Spirit. 



Attempts of various parties in the past have shown that it is very easy to Publish 

 in the amateur way, with the amateur spirit. But soon the body was "dead" and only 

 the spirit left. 



The Guide to Nature is for all students and lovers of nature. That includes all 

 ornithologists, though it isn't an ornithological magazine. There are really some 

 things in nature beside birds that are worth while. 



The Guide to Nature is too good, to expensive for free distribution. No other 

 nature magazine ever published contains so many beautiful illustrations.
