NATURE READERS: SEASIDE AND WAY-SIDE. By Julia McNair Wright. In Four Books, with numerous Illustrations. This is a Series of Illustrated Readers on an entirely new plan, designed for Schools and Families. It is intended to awaken in young children a taste for scientific study, to develope their powers of attention, and to encc rage thought and observation, by directing their minds to the living things that mee. their eyes on the roadside, by the sea-shore, and about their homes. Hitherto the chief object of First, Second, and Third Readers has been to give a child a vocabulary of some few hundred words, but these words have been of small use in developing ideas. The Nature Readers-continued. The "Nature Readers" contain not merely stories about animals, nor simply descriptions of animals in an abnormal state, as of captivity, but explain in clear and simple style, without technical language, the anatomy and life histories of the subjects studied, giving their actions and homes the graphic interest of individuality, so that without any illusions of imagination or allegory, they possess "all the fascination of a fairy tale."
