UPLAND AND MEADOW. 



A Poaetquissings Chronicle. By Charles C. -Abbott, 

 M.D. pp. X., 398. 12mo, Ornamental Cloth, $1 50. 



Dr. Abbott studies most delightfully tbe 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 ot 

 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 ot mind takes up this book will not willingly lay it down. — Christian 

 AdvocatCy^.Y. 



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

 record and humor both. — Philadelphia Ledger and IVanscript. 



The author has a faculty for using liis 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 that 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 Oasette, Boston.
