n this most successful of
Nature Books. This book makes the identification of our birds
simple and positive, even to the uninitiated, through certain
unique features. I. All the birds are grouped according to color,
in the belief that a bird's coloring is the first and often the
only characteristic noticed. II. By another classification, the
birds are grouped according to their season. III. All the popular
names by which a bird is known are given both in the descriptions
and the index. The colored plates are the most beautiful and
accurate ever given in a moderate-priced and popular book.
The most successful and widely sold Nature Book yet published.

No work of its class has ever been issued that contains so much
valuable information, presented with such felicity and charm. The
colored plates are true to nature. By their aid alone any bird
illustrated may be readily identified. Sportsmen will especially
relish the twenty-four color plates which show the more important
birds in characteristic poses. They are probably the most valuable
and artistic pictures of the kind available to-day.

of every man of whatever age who still retains anything of a boyish
heroism in his soul."
_N. Y. Globe_: "Mr. Duncan has given a very moving picture of the
dreadfully hard life of the northern fishermen. He has included dozens
of the little cameos of stories, true stories, as he vouches, full of
human nature as it is exhibited in primitive conditions."
_Congregationalist_: "Norman Duncan draws vivid pictures of the Labrador
and the service which Dr. Grenfell has rendered to its people. It is a
fascinating tale and told with real enthusiasm and charm. The unusual
stage of action and the chivalrous quality of the hero
