EPISODES OF INSECT LIFE.

By Acheta Domestica. In Three Series: I. Insects of Spring.—
II. Insects of Summer.—III. Insects of Autumn. Beautifully
illustrated. Crown 8vo., cloth, gilt, price $2.00 each. The same
beautifully colored after nature, extra gilt, $4.00 each.

"A book elegant enough for the centre table, witty enough for after dinner, and wise
enough for the study and the school room. One of the beautiful lessons of this work is
the kindly view it takes of nature. Nothing is made in vain not only, but nothing is
made ugly or repulsive. A charm is thrown around every object, and life suffused
through all suggestive of the Creator's goodness and wisdom."

—N. Y. Evangelist.

"Moths, glow-worms, lady-birds, May-flies, bees, and a variety of other inhabitants of
the insect world, are descanted upon in a pleasing style, combining scientific information
with romance, in a manner peculiarly attractive."

—Commercial Advertiser.

"The book includes solid instruction as well as genial and captivating mirth. The
scientific knowledge of the writer is thoroughly reliable."

—Examiner.
