“After spending a half-hour with ‘In Gold and Silver,’ one recalls the old saying, ‘Precious things come in small parcels.’”--_Christian Intelligencer._
“One of the handsomest gift books of the year.”--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
“The whole book is eminently interesting, and emphatically deserving of the very handsome and artistic setting it has received.”--_New York Tribune._
_OUTINGS AT ODD TIMES._ By CHARLES C. ABBOTT, author of “Days out of Doors” and “A Naturalist’s Rambles about Home.” 16mo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.25.
“A charming little volume, literally alone with Nature, for it discusses seasons and the fields, birds, etc., with the loving freedom of a naturalist born. Every page reads like a sylvan poem; and for the lovers of the beautiful in quiet outdoor and out-of-town life, this beautifully bound and attractively printed little volume will prove a companion and friend.”--_Rochester Union and Advertiser._
_A NATURALIST’S RAMBLES ABOUT HOME._ By CHARLES C. ABBOTT. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“The home about which Dr. Abbott rambles is clearly the haunt of fowl and fish, of animal and insect life; and it is of the habits and nature of these that he discourses pleasantly in this book. Summer and winter, morning and evening, he has been in the open air all the time on the alert for some new revelation of instinct, or feeling, or character on the part of his neighbor creatures. Most that he sees and hears he reports agreeably to us, as it was no doubt delightful to himself. Books like this, which are free from all the technicalities of science, but yet lack little that has scientific value, are well suited to the reading of the young. Their atmosphere is a healthy one for boys in particular to breathe.”--_Boston Transcript._
_DAYS OUT OF DOORS._ By CHARLES C. ABBOTT. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“‘Days out of Doors’ is a series of sketches of animal life by Charles C. Abbott, a naturalist whose graceful writings have entertained and instructed the public before now. The essays and narratives in this book are grouped in twelve chapters, named after the months of the year. Under ‘January’ the author talks of squirrels, muskrats, water-snakes, and the predatory animals that withstand the rigor of winter; under ‘February,’ of frogs and herons, crows and blackbirds; under ‘March,’ of gulls and fishes and foxy sparrows; and so on appropriately, instructively, and divertingly through the whole twelve.”--_New York Sun._
