--_Introduction._
"Mr. Knight ... is the one modern artist who can picture
prehistoric animals with artistic charm of presentation as well
as with full scientific accuracy."
While Mr. Lucas did not, in this instance, write for children, they
greatly enjoy his descriptions, and are captivated by Mr. Knight's
pictures of the strange creatures. There is a very interesting chapter
on The Ancestry of the Horse.
"Said the little Eohippus (p. 222)
I am going to be a horse
And on my middle finger-nails
To run my earthly course."
NEWCOMB, SIMON.
Astronomy for Everybody.
Doubleday. 2.00
When a work, by an authority as eminent as Professor Newcomb, is
interesting to young people, and is to a sufficient degree within
their comprehension, it should certainly be put into their hands, even
if, as in the present case, it was not specially prepared for them.
PARSONS, F.T. (S.) (formerly Mrs. W.S. DANA).
How to Know the Ferns.
Scribner. 1.50
This companion to How to Know the Wild Flowers gives in convenient
form a great deal of pleasantly told information as to the names,
haunts, and habits, of our common ferns. They are arranged in six
groups, the classification being based on the frond differences.
