Abstract
“OBSERVERS of Nature,” says Mr. Witchell in his preface, “belong to one of two classes—the scientific and the imaginative.” Mr. Witchell himself belongs to the latter category, for, to make use of his own words, he depicts “some curious incidents in Nature in a frame of imaginative colouring.” The book will probably give readers a general interest in natural phenomena, for there is no attempt systematically to describe the plant and animal life to be found in the country at different seasons of the year. The author directs attention to anything that happens to have impressed him, and his facts and fancies are expressed in pretty terms.
