"The child who reads will be charmed while he is instructed, and led on
to make new discoveries for himself."--_The Nation._
"It has a value of its own that cannot fail to make it permanently
popular."--_The Evening Post_, Chicago.
Four-Footed Americans and Their Kin

Illustrated by ERNEST SETON THOMPSON
CLOTH. CROWN 8vo. $1.50 _net_
"It deserves commendation for its fascinating style, and for the
fund of information which it contains regarding the familiar, and
many unfamiliar animals of this country. It is an ideal book for
children, and doubtless older folk will find in its pages much of
interest."--_The Dial_, Chicago.
"Books like these are cups of delight to wide-awake and inquisitive
girls and boys. Here is a gossipy history of American quadrupeds,
bright, entertaining and thoroughly instructive. The text, by Mrs.
Wright, has all of the fascination that distinguishes her other
out-door books."--_The Independent._

_SCRIBNER'S NEW BOOKS_
_By the Author of "WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN"_
The Trail of the
Sandhill Stag
By ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON
_With 8 full-page illustrations (one in color), and
numerous marginal illustrations from
drawing by the author
Square 8vo, $1.50_
[Illustration]
"A more delightful bit of impressionist work, subtle word-painting and
that best of all teaching which conveys its lesson unconsciously is
not often found. It is a reproof of the blood thirst in the hunter, a
plea for the harmless and gentle denizen of the forest and mountain,
a sermon which Buddha might have preached and a marvel of artistic
creation all in one."--Chicago _Evening Post_.
"Could you call that an ordinary hunting story? I should call it a
piece of imaginative literature worthy of Stevenson.... There are
hundreds of men who could follow a stag through half a dozen snowy
winters; there are few who could paint him; but if Mr. Thompson is not
the first to interpret the joys of the wild chase in words, he is yet
the best."--New York _Commercial Advertiser_.
WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN. By ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON.
Illustrated by the author. _23rd thousand._ Square 12mo, $2.00.
Bob: The Story of Our Mocking Bird
12mo, $1.50 By SIDNEY LANIER 12mo, $1.50
_With 16 full-page illustrations made from photographic studies and
colored by A. R. Dugmore_
A charming vein of humor and philosophy runs through Mr. Lanier's
affectionately intimate story of his pet mocking bird Bob, giving the
book a literary quality of an altogether unusual kind and setting it in
a niche of its own. The illustrations have been reproduced in colors
from carefully made and painted photographs, and are as artistic as
they are in perfect harmony with the author's delightful narrative,
passages of which they illustrate.

Transcriber Notes
Major section headers in the original text were treated as "Chapters". Each
repeated section was formatted to replicate the printed version. All oe
ligatures were converted to their component letters.
The Index shows a link for "Snow Buntings" on page 300. As the Volume
ends with page 206, this typo was changed to page 181 which is where
the last reference to Buntings appears.
Each advertisement page is separated by a line of equals symbols.
