NATURAL HISTORY; or, Uncle Philip's Conversations with 
the Children about Tools and Trades among the Inferior Animals. 18mo. 
With numerous Engravings. 
This work has deservedly received the highest encomiums, not only for the extent, 
utility, and interesting nature of the information it conveys, but also for the skill with 
which the ideas and language are adapted to the tastes as well as the capacities of 
youthful readers. But these are not its only or its greatest merits : its highest claims 
to praise are the tone of sincere and earnest piety which pervades the conversations, 
and the excellence of the precepts drawn from the wonders they disclose. 
A POPULAR GUIDE TO THE OBSERVATION OF 
NATURE ; or, Hints of Inducement to the Study of Natural Productions and 
Appearances, in their Connexions and Relations. By Robert Mudie. 18mo. 
With Engravings. 
The author is an ardent lover of nature, and a close obs rver of the works of the 
Creator, and his aim has been to awaken in his readers a spirit kindred to his own, and 
to point out to the student the true path of inquiry ; that which alone can lead to the 
just perception and full enjoyment of the innumerable charms that lie scattered so 
lavishly around us in every form of animate and inanimate existence. In the accom- 
plishment of his undertaking he has produced a work not more remarkable for its 
originaUty and for the extent and accuracy of the information it conveys, than for the 
novelty of its views, the infinite variety and wisdom of its refiections, and the singular 
interest with which it fills the mind of the dehghted reader, To the tyi-o this guide is 
of incalculable value, and to the accomplished scholar it recommends itself by the new 
and striking features with which it invests the exhaustless subject of which it treats.
