Chapters In Popular Natural History PDF Download

Excerpt from Chapters in Popular Natural History: Arranged as an Advanced Reading Book for Use in Elementary and Higher Schools The National Society has done me the honour to propose to republish parts of some of my Natural History Lectures adapted as a Reading Book. Those who may wish to pursue the subjects further, I would refer to my "Origin and Metamorphoses of Insects" (Macmillan and Co.), "British Wild Flowers, &c.(Macmillan and Co.), "Scientific Lectures" (Macmillan and Co.), and "Ants, Bees, and Wasps" (Paul, Trench, and Co.). I am greatly indebted to my publishers for their courtesy in allowing me to reprint here part of the above-mentioned works. I have also to thank Messrs. Paul, Trench, and Co., Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Messrs. Cassell and Co., and Messrs. Lovel Reeve and Co., for the use of various illustrations, which they have been so good as to place at my disposal.
