Excerpt from Sketches and Anecdotes of Animal Life In order, therefore, to compensate in some degree for that deficiency, a portion of those sketches and anecdotes which were originally intended to have been inserted in the first work, have been brought together in a separate volume. Even in these pages, which are devoted exclusively to the history of animals, space has failed; and it has been found necessary to postpone several quadru peds, such as the elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and many others, to another occasion. It had been intended to include, at least, the whole of the mam malia in this volume; but its limit was unexpectedly reached before the Sketches were concluded.

Excerpt from Stories of Animal Life To undertake the study of natural history successfully, enthusiastic interest is necessary, and to arouse such an interest may be considered one of the possible good offices of the volume. The young student who is confronted day after day with a frog, a crab, or a shell, and requested to note its peculiarities of structure as a first lesson, some times may assume that natural history is, after all, very dry and uninteresting, when, had he even a faint conception of the wonderful ways and habits of the animals, he would eagerly embrace the Opportunity for closer investigation.

Excerpt from Sketches of Animal Life and Habits The present series of Sketches has been compiled with the view of affording general readers, and especially the young, some popular and yet trustworthy ideas regarding some of the most interesting groups of the animal world. The work may in fact be regarded as a natural history text-book adapted for use in Nature's school at large, and as a guide to the use of the observant powers, through the due exer cise of which all true ideas of Nature are acquired. Some of the Sketches have already appeared in Chambers's Journal, and are reprinted here with some additions, and with such alterations as were found to be necessary in adapting them for volume-form. The papers lay no claim to originality; but the day of grave errors in popular scien tific works is not yet past, and the author would fain hope that the Sketches may at least be found to possess the merit of correctness. The highest purpose this little work may serve is, that of fostering a love for the personal and direct observation of Nature. Knowledge so acquired invariably brings its own reward in the power it confers of discerning higher aspects in all the workes of Nature.' And as a result of such studies, we may say with Wordsworth of the most commonplace object around. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
