Abstract
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL'S new volume will be welcomed by the many readers of his previous series of “memories.” The ability to combine literary grace with sclentific accuracy, and the power to interest and at the same time to impart useful information, is unfortunately rare, and we are grateful to Sir Herbert Maxwell for placing his gifts at the disposal of a large audience by means of these pages. Readers will be able to share with the author of the memories his “delight in the open field, the woodland, and the riverside,” and if they prove willing disciples they may in time experience the joy of original observation for themselves—at least they will learn to study and appreciate the boundless beauties of nature.
Memories of the Months.
Fourth Series. By the Right Hon. Sir Herbert Maxwell. Pp. x + 319. (London: Edward Arnold, 1907.) Price 7s. 6d.
