Preface tnr Othe kind and indulgent circle of readers which has now for thirteen years gathered round me, I offer once more some of the results of my study of such natural objects as happen to come tinder my notice in my quiet home. Precluded as I am, by the measure of my health and strength, from travelling widely and from visiting fresh scenes, I am yet indisposed to regret my limitation. It is to this, perhaps, that I owe the ceaseless enjoyment which I gain from being obliged to look to my own surroundings for those sources of interest in animal, bird, and insect life, which an English country is ready to supply, in an inexhaustible degree, to the patient and willing observer. Trees, too, have ever been to me almost as well beloved as moving creatures. So much have I been impressed by the mystery of those green-robed senators of mighty woods, that I have often longed to devote an entire volume to their forms and their development. But this is a task which I am fain to leave to abler hands than mine.
