A WORK OF WIDENING IMPORTANCE 
TO THE BOOK WORLD.

J. P. JENSON, Crookston High School, Crooks- 
ton, Minn., says: 
The NATURE LIBRARY far surpassed my 
expectation. I have already made good use of 
the books in my work as Science Instructor, and 
I know that I shall derive information from them 
for many years to come. The color plates are 
excellent, the arrangement scientific and yet 
simple, and the binding substantial. Fifteen dol- 
lars would not buy my set if I could not get 
another.

AARON L. TREADWELL, Professor of Biology, 
Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N, Y., says: 
Doubleday, Page & Co, are to be congratu- 
lated on the general excellence of the books 
comprised in their NATURE LIBRARY. It is 
the most valuable series I know for the use of 
the Nature lover, whether he is interested pro- 
fessionally or non-professionally in natural history 
subjects. 
THE NATURE LIBRARY. 
For six years we have been working steadily to build up THE NATURE LIBRARY, and have spent many thousand dollars to 
bring it to its present form of ten beautiful volumes. The set has become a standard work— the only one of its kind m the world— and the 
^ sale has increased very rapidly, more than ten times as many being sold this season as last. There is no household in the land where these 
V books are not needed; for grown people, for schools, for children, for everyone who wants to know about birds, flowers, butterflies, mush- 
rooms, insects, etc., this set is absolutely indispensable. 
F.&s.^^ JOHN BURROUGHS in his introduction well expresses the spirit of the books. He writes: "While accurate and scientific, I
