Abstract
IF the lover of natural history and country life whose tastes incline to the study of the higher animals, and who may also possess an appetite for a spice of philosophy, cannot find matter to his liking in at least one of this excellent half-dozen of popular books, he must indeed be hard to please. The first five are charming examples of the modern style of nature-study and popular natural history works, and the general excellence of the style of the text is only equalled (or shall we say surpassed?) by the exquisite illustrations. Since each volume has a special line of its own, we are fortunately spared the invidious task of deciding as to their comparative merits.
