Tbe Guide to Nature 
The best General Magazine 
of Nature Ever Publisht 
A successful attempt to publish a “Professional” Magazine with the 
Amateur Spirit. 
Attempts of various parties in the past have shown that it is very easy to Publish 
in the amateur way, with the amateur spirit. But soon the body was “dead” and only 
the spirit left. 
The Guide to Nature is for all students and lovers of nature. That includes all 
ornithologists, tho it isn’t an ornithological magazine. There are really some things 
in nature beside birds that are worth while. 
The Guide to Nature is too good, too expensive for free distribution. No other 
nature magazine ever publisht contains so many beautiful illustrations.
