RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DR. COMSTOCK’S NATURAL HISTORY. 
JU*. 
The following is an extract from the notice of the work by the Como ittee of Publication of the 
Hartford County Sabbath School Union. 
“ We would particularly commend this book to managers of Sabbath Schools, ad cannot but express the hope that the time will S 
soon come, when works of this description, having truth for their basis, will take the place of those fictitious stories which now* fill the 
shelves of our Sabbath School Libraries, and which too often tend to deprave the taste, and weaken the moral energy of children. We < 
think in producing this work, Dr. Comstock has performed a valuable serviC' to community, and trust he will find encouragement to 
persevere in his enterprise of writing others on the same plan, embracing the several, departments of Natural History.” 
From the Rev. T. C. Brownell, 1). D., LL. D.. Bishop of Connecticut. 
Dear Sir, —I have given your “ Natural History of Quadrupeds,” a hasty perusal, and am well pleased witli’the design and exer¬ 
tion of the work. I consider it a useful addition to Sunday Schoo 1 , and other juvenile libraries; and those vl'ho are aware of the 
difficulty of selecting unexceptionable books for the use of children, will regaru this as no faint praise. 
From Rev. T. H. Gallaudet, of Hartford . 
Dr. Comstock’s Book on The Natural History of Quadrupeds” which I have carefully examined, is in my opinion exceeding] 
well adapted to the early education of children and youth, in families and ,ommon schools, and also to the object now considered In. 
important one in many Sabbath Schools, of placing in their libraries some work for reading on week days, and in this way removing '< 
from the family circle those light, frivolous, and in not a few cases, pernicious books, which corrupt both the tast?~and the morals of the ' 
rising generation. 
Nothing is more essential in books for children than a suitable simplicity and clearness of style, which Dr. Comstock has preserved 
in an unusual degree. This in connection with the valuable knowledge it contains, all founded on facts :■ (which, it is much to be 
desired, may soon take the place of that mass of fiction of which our books for children are now unhappily full;) the interesting matter 
and judicious arrangement, and the moral and religious reflections arising naturally from the subject, unite strongly to recommend this 
work to the notice of all who are interested in the education of youth. 
From the Rev. H. Humphrey, D, D., late President of Amherst College, Massachusetts. 
The study of Natural History, in some of its more striking features, may be commenced almost in infancy; and perhaps no study L 
whatever is more interesting, during the whole inquisitive period of childhood. And how can a portion of the young immortal’s time ' 9 
be more profitably spent, than in contemplating and admiring the works of God ? It is here thatffn the simplest forms, He reveals his 3 
wisdom, his benevolence and his power. ff ,1 - . 
Entertaining these views, I cannot but regard every successful attempt to excite and gratify juvenile curiosity in this great depart- f 
ment of human knowledge, as entitled to the gratitude of am enlightened Christian community. In the Natural History of Quadrupeds f 
by Dr. Comstock, for Sabbath School Libraries, there is much to interest and commend. Representing the comparative size of animals ? 
m the plates, is at once so natural and so instructive to children, that 1 can only wonder it has not bee’- done before. I hope the book § 
will be widely circulated, and that the author will be encouraged to furnish our children with others on the same plan. ’ *
