Abstract
THESE four handy little volumes are well put together, and seem to us decidedly superior to works of a similar kind with which we used to be familiar in our youth. The evident purpose of the volumes is not to teach their subjects systematically, but to lead those into whose hands they may fall to take an interest in the common objects of nature which may be met with in an occasional walk. For this purpose they seem to us well adapted, and the information they convey on the whole trustworthy. They abound in suitable and well-executed illustrations, and might appropriately be put into the hands of any one, old and young, whose circumstances would give him a chance of using them.
