NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS. 
The life of North American Insects. By B. J AEGER, late Pro¬ 
fessor ol Zoology and Botany in the ( o ege ot New-Tersey, as¬ 
sisted by H. C. Preston, M. D. With numerous illustrations 
from specimens in the cabinet of the Author. I mo., muslin’ 
$1 25. 
We look upon this little volume as one of the most opportune 
and interesting, as well as the most useful, that has come under 
our notice for a long time. Not an institution of education 
should be without one or more copies —N. Y , Spirit of the 
Times. 
This is no dry technical treatise upon Entomology, but an 
amusing as well as ins motive account of the insect world, full 
of anecdotes and finely illustrated. The simplicity of classifica¬ 
tion, the absense, in a great measure, of strictly scientific terms, 
and the in'reduction ot i lustrative incidental information, ren¬ 
der the work very interesting to the popular reader. The au¬ 
thor was fitted for his task by investigations in Europe and 
Asia, and on this continent.— Boston Journal 
Processor Jaeger has been for years an enthusiastic student of 
Natuie, and is, perhaps, as accomplished an entomologist as we 
now have in the country. He writes with ease and vivacity, 
and contrives to render his narratives as interesting as any 
story.— N Y- Evening Post. 
Ii is written in a clear, lucid and comprehensive stvle, invest¬ 
ing its subject with a charm which the reader cannot but feel 
from the start.— Brooklyn Daily Times. 
Harper & Brothers will send either of the above works, 
by mail, postage-paid, (for any distance in the United States 
under 3,'MiO mi es,) on receipt of ihe money.
