Every Sportsman, 
Every Nature Lover Wants It! 
“The STANDARD NATURAL HISTORY 
is astonishing for the wealth of illustrations 
it displays. It is well called ‘a portrait 
gallery of actual life.’ The reading 
matter is intensely interesting —largely because 
it differs so widely from most natural histories. ”
