 W. Carleton & Co., a book on America, entitled 

 "Grand Transformation Scenes in the United States." 



Thackerat looked upon Charles Bernard as the 

 most thoroughly representative French writer of no- 

 tion, ranking him above Dumas, Soulie, or Balzec. 

 Nearly the whole of a chapter in the Paris Sketch 

 Book is devoted to him His best novel, "A Fatal 

 Passion," was lately published by G. W. Carleton

ILLUSTRATE!! NATURAL HISTORY.— The following 



testimony to the truthfulness and beauty of "Hurst's 

 Views." merely supplements the expressed opinions 

 of many of our readers, who delight in the field of 

 practical natural history. The views arc taken from 

 mounted specimens in life-like attitudes, with aland- 

 scape in exact imitation of the native haunt of the 

 bird or animal. We refer to the advertising columns 

 of the Forest and Stream for list of views and prices. 



Shakopee, Minn., December 30, 1874. 

 Editor Forest and Stream:— 



The twelve "Hurst's Views" received this morning 

 and I must say that they surpass anything in !he stereo- 

 cope line I ever saw. II, is better than going ,tO a 

 menagerie or museum, as here you see the birds in 

 their natural state. It brings the true sportsman im- 

 mediately amid scenes wherein he loves to dwell , and 

 dnriug the close season he can be constantly reminded 

 of the many happy days he may have passed in the 

 Held. C. A. S.
