Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
In the following pages will be found short and simple descriptions of some of the numerous objects that are to be found in our fields, woods, and waters. As this little work is not intended for scientific readers, but simply as a guide to those who are desirous of learning something of natural objects, scientific language has been studiously avoided, and scientific names have been only given in cases where no popular name can be found. In so small a compass but little can be done; and therefore I have been content to take certain typical objects, which will serve as guides, and to omit mention of those which can be placed under the same head. Every object described by the pen is illustrated by the pencil, in order to aid the reader in his researches ;and the subjects have been so chosen that no one with observant eyes can walk in the fields for half-an-hour without finding very many of the objects described in the book.
