A LABRADOR SPRING 



Dana Estes and Co., Publishers, 1910 



" Dr. Townsend is a lover of nature and has a clear 

 expressive style which brings the objects or persons he 

 writes about before the reader in graphic outline." — 

 Albany Argus, Aug. 21, 1910. 



" All aspects of nature appeal to the author, from 

 birds and animals to trees and mosses. ... A cruise 

 from Esquimeau Point to Natashquan furnishes both 

 ornithological and human interest, and a chapter on the 

 Montagnais Indians contains much information. The 

 volume is liberallj' illustrated from photographs taken 

 by the author. Dr. Townsend's style is sunple, easy, 

 touched with occasional humor and exhaling a quiet 

 but sincere enthusiasm for the picturesque Labrador 

 coast and all that pertains to it." — Chicago Record- 

 Herald, Aug. 26, 1910. 



" Although Dr. Townsend's interest is primarily in 

 ornithology, he has the well rounded naturalist's curi- 

 osity for all things in nature, and the true physician's 

 sympathy with the varying forms of human nature. 

 So his book offers a collection of many topics, shifting 

 scenes, and scientific facts. He writes with deep and 

 sober enthusiasm. . . . His photographs add to the 

 vi"\'id impression made by his clear and honest style." — 

 Harvard Graduate Magazine, September, 1910.
