Abstract
MR. LONG believes that an animal's success or failure in the ceaseless struggle for life depends, not upon instinct, but upon the kind of training which the animal receives from its mother. He has written most of the sketches contained in this attractive volume in the woods, with the subjects themselves living just outside his tent door. The result is that we are provided with an interesting book which will go a long way to make all who read it lovers of nature arid sympathetic, intelligent observers of animal life. Mr. Copeland's excellent pictures will help very much to make the book a favourite with children.
