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. ’ ’

The Standard 
Library of Natural History 
Should be in easy reach of every person interested 
in animal life. It is as far removed from the ordinary 
natural history as day is from night. In its prepara¬ 
tion the ablest sportsmen and naturalists have united 
—giving a series of real life stories of beasts, birds, 
fishes and insects—and showing every subject by a 
photograph from life! There are over 2,000 of these 
rare and wonderfully interesting plates—many being 
obtained only at great risk and expense. 
Every sportsman will find here the one work he 
has long sought. Every wideawake boy and girl will 
clamor for these beautiful books on sight. Give this 
great Natural History to them! Teach them the 
truth about the wonderful world we live in! 
CHAMP. CLARK 
says: 
“I consider it 
the 
most 
valuable of my library treas- 
ures. A perusal 
of 
these 
books will constitute a 
lib- 
eral education in Natural 
History. My wife 
and 
chil- 
dren have put in most of the 
time reading them 
arrived.”
