" Which one of us, whether afoot, awheel, on horseback, or in comfortable carriage, 

 has not whiled away the time by gbmciiig about? How many of us, however, have 

 taken in the details of what charms us ? We see the flowering fields and budding woods, 

 listen to the notes of birds and froths, the hum of some big bumblebee, but how much do 

 we know of what we 'lenxe ? These questions, these doubts have occurred to all of us, 

 and it is to answer them that Mr. Mathews sets forth. It is to his credit that he suc- 

 ceeds so well. He puts before us in chronolo£;ictil order the flowers, birds, and beasts 

 we meet on our highway and byway travels, tel.s us how to recognize them, what they 

 are really like, and gives us at once charming drawmgs in words and lines, for Mr. 

 Mathews is his own illustrator."— ^//j/o;; Journal.
