6000 pages, 430 plates in color, nearly 4000 half-tones, most of them from life, and 2590 other illustrations, in 
all 7000 pictures of Animals, Birds, Fish, Butterflies, Moths, Insects, Wild Flowers, Trees, Reptiles, Shells, etc. 
HE last volume, ‘‘Shells,’’ is ready for shipment, so that incomplete sets may now be filled. To 
produce the ‘‘Nature Library’’ has taken ten years of careful and painstaking endeavor and this is 
the most important book enterprise in which we have engaged. Many manuscripts submitted have 
i been rejected as not being up to the standard of excellence established. Throughout we have insisted . 
H that the information should be accurate and scientific and at the same time presented in an interesting 
and ‘‘live’’? way. As completed, this work is 
THE ONLY SATISFACTORY AMERICAN NATURAL HISTORY

. : *s .¢- | While accurate and scientific, I have found them (the volumes) very readable. 
John_ Burroughs, in the General Introduction, writes: Burroughs, in the General Introduction, writes: The treatment is popular without being sensational. This library is free 
from the scientific dry rot on the one hand and from the florid and misleading romanticism of much recent nature writing on the other. It is a 
safe guide to the world of animal and plant life that lies about us.”
