A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The necessity of the pupils copying (however poorly) the figures, either upon the slate, or upon paper, cannot be too strongly urged. From his own experience, the author has learned that a specimen or figure may oftentimes be carefully studied, and yet only an imperfect idea be formed of it; but, when it had been once copied, the new points gained repaid all the trouble spent in the task. It makes but little difference whether the pupil is proficient in drawing or not; it should be strenuously insisted upon by the teacher that the pupils copy, as far as possible, the figures contained in each lesson. To collect in the field, to make a cabinet, and then to examine and study the specimens collected, are the three stages that naturalists, with few exceptions, have passed through in their boyhood. If one recalls the way in which boys first manifest their taste for such studies, he will remember that first a few examples were brought together; a collection was made. It may have been birds -eggs, insects, or shells; then little boxes, a case of drawers, or shelves, were secured to hold their treasures.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The First Book of Zoology is expressly prepared for the use of pupils who wish to gain a general knowledge of the structure, habits, modes of growth, and other leading features concerning the common animals of the country. Particular attention has been given to the lower animals, as these are more often neglected in text-books. Directions for collecting, the preparation of specimens for the cabinet, and the haunts of the animals to be studied are given, and the pupil is expected to study, with the book in one hand, and the specimens in the other. The figures illustrating this work, with a few exceptions, have been drawn from Nature by the author, and have been prepared with especial reference to their being copied by the pupil. To facilitate this the figures are made in outline, with the shaded side of the figure indicated by darker lines.
