Books upon almost every other subject have been circulated among the people, except those relating to the very interesting and important one of NATURAL HISTORY. The books which have heretofore been published on this subject, have been adapted either to mere children, or to those who make it a thorough study. Hence, very few of the millions of readers in this country have within their reach anything satisfactory upon this subject. This indicates a great and an obvious want, as no subject is more intensely interesting, and none more improving, than that of the iving beings that people the globe. This want we are confident we fully meet in the work we here offer to the public.

This subject is treated in a popular style; technical names and terms being carefully excluded, thus adapting it to the understandings and tastes of general readers, and making it one of THE MOST INTERESTING AND USEFUL OF HOUSEHOLD BOOKS.

IT EMBRACES

I. All the Various Races of Men, with the varieties of each race, as the European, Mongolian, Malay, Negro, Indian, Australian, Negrillo, Telingin, Ethiopian, Hottentot, Abyssinian, &c., &c., with Engravings of each.

III. All the Land and Sea Birds, a list too numerous to repeat, correct Engravings of which constitute a very attractive feature of the work.

V. The Reptiles of the Globe.

VI. The Various Insects, their habits, uses and modes of destruction, &c. &c.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS OF MEN AND ANIMALS No work was ever issued that is more attractive to the young, none over whose pages they hang with deeper interest, or from which more that is instructive is derived.

It is the Book for the Young.

The Rapid Sale of over 30 000 Copies, shows the estimation in which it is held by the public; and is at once an index of the public want and of the complete adaptation of this work to meet that want.

EDITED BY E. G. STORKE.

FARMING and GARDENING are kindred pursuits. The latter is but the perfection, or the better aspects of the former. Hence each part of this work, though it may treat in one part of The Farm and in another of The Gardens, is necessarily and directly connected. Those, therefore, who are engaged in Kitchen-Gardening, or in the cultivation of Fruits and Flowers, will find the matter in the first division of this work important even to them, while it is indispensable to the farmer.

IN THE KITCHEN-GARDEN explicit and reliable directions are given for cultivating all the various garden vegetables and the smaller fruits.

In THE FRUIT-GARDEN full and clear directions are given for the selection and cultivation of the best varieties of fruit.

In THE FLOWER-GARDEN, which is specially addressed to ladies, plain directions will be found for selecting and cultivating the choicest varieties of out-door flowers.

In short, it is believed that all who take an interest-and who does not-in the varied productions of the farm, or the kitchen, fruit, or flower-garden, and who would have within their reach a convenient hand-book upon those subjects, will find this an instructive manual for their daily reference and use.
