What Mr. Darwin Saw

In his Voyage Round the World in the Ship "Beagle." Narrated for Youthful Readers. Maps and Illustrations. 8vo, Cloth, $3.00.

There will be few more attractive or valuable books offered for young folk this season than "What Mr. Darwin Saw in his Voyage Round the World in the Ship Beagle." *** The child is entertained first with stories, anecdotes, and descriptions of all manner of animals in which the interest is universal among children, and is led on gradually to accounts of various races of savage men, and to a study of the various countries visited by Mr. Darwin, and the things of interest which he saw in them all -—cities, plains, mountains, etc., with stories of earth quakes and other natural phenomena. For bright boys and girls nothing could be more attractive than this book or more profitable, and the publishers have given it a fascinating dress—N. Y. Evening Post.

One of the most instructive, as it is certainly one of the most attractive of recent publications for the young. * * * The child into whose hands the book falls will obtain from it a great deal that is new and striking with regard to animals and objects in the natural world, and will find it as entertaining and as hard to lay down as a book of fairy tales.—Boston Journal.

Young folks will be glad to welcome this handsomely illustrated volume. * * * The language is simplified, the pictures are numerous, and altogether the book is an excellent one for either home or school reading.—Independent, N. Y.

The book is very handsome and attractive, is richly illustrated with a hundred pictures and a dozen maps; it gives brief biographical notices of the famous persons who are mentioned in the text, and it has an ample index. This must become at once what it deserves to be—-one of the most popular juveniles.— Christian Register, Boston.

This is a beautiful book. * * * Handsome engravings adorn its pages in profusion, and its type and paper are the perfection of the printer's art. The style is simplicity itself, and very lively and attractive. The design of the book, in the author's words, is "to interest children in the study of natural history, and of physical and political geography." In this it cannot fail to be wholly successful.—Cincinnati Commercial.

A book abounding in curious information, which not only children but many grown people cannot fail to find deeply interesting. * * * It is safe to say that the season will produce no more instructive and entertaining gift book, or one that intelligent children will relish more—N. Y. Mail.

In publishing "What Darwin Saw" the publishers have put every child and young person in the United States under a lively and lasting obligation. * * * A delightful volume of chapters of natural history and physical and political geography.—N. Y. World.
