A 



NATURALIST' S RAMBLES ABOUT HOME. 

 By Charles C. Abbott. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



"The home about which Dr. Abbott rambles is clearly the haunt of fowl and fish, 

 of animal and insect life ; and it is of the habits and nature of these that he discourses 

 pleasantly in this book. Summer and winter, morning and evening, he has been in 

 the open air all the time on the alert for some new revelation of instinct, or feeling, 

 Or character on the part of his neighbor creatures. Most that he sees and hears he 

 reports agreeably to us, as it was no doubt delightful to himself. Books like this, 

 which are free from all the technicalities of science, but yet lack little that has scien- 

 lfi ■ value, are well suited to the reading of the young. Their atmosphere is a healthy 

 ant. for boys in particular to breathe." — Boston Transcript.

 and fishes and foxy sparrows, and so on appropriately, instructively, and divertingly
