Books upon almost every other subject have been circulated among the people, except those 
relating to the very interesting and important one of Natural History. The books which have 
heretofore been published on this subject, have been adapted either to mere children, or to those 
who make it a thorough study. Hence, very few of the millions of readers in this country have 
within their reach anything satisfactory upon this subject. This indicates a great and an obvious 
want, as no subject is more intensely interesting, and none more improving, than that of the 
living beings that people the globe. This wunt we are confident we fully meet in the work we 
here offer to the public. 
This subject is treated in a popular style ; technical names and terms being carefully excluded, 
thus adapting it to the understandings and tastes of general readers, and making it one of 
uiw THE MOST INTERESTING AND USEFUL OF HOUSEHOLD BOOKS.

hang with deeper interest, or from which more that is instructive is derived. 
It is the Booh for the Young. 
Tlie Rapid Sale of over 12,000 Copies, shows the estimation in which it is 
held by the public ; and is at once an index of the public want and of the complete adaptation of
