The title OF DR.. Abbott's book. I'm Natures
Realm" roUses anticipations OF talk about now
ers and birds The talk is here. but the first
chapter. dealing with My Point Of View" sug-
gests that the author attaches a certain I'M
portance to his own reflections and in the body
OF the book we find some observation but more
speculative comment. DR.. Abbott has enjoyed
his walks, and he likes to set forth what he mas
them. His pages are fairly amusing
but II takes greater gifts than his to make
work Of this sort seriously worth while HIS
descriptions are fairly we'll done. but what he
adds TO them in the nature of general comment
lacks the power to interest and charm the
reader. Attractive form has been given to the
book; dainty sketches in black and white en-
bellish its margins and the publisher has given
Il good paper and press work. Mr.. SINNERS

OF modest little papers on flowers, trees AMI

has lively sympathy for what he sees. ana
writes of it deftly and with humor His book
is dantily illustrated 1t is not too long. and al
together is worthy OF reception into the COM

tive Impressions Of natural phenomena. Ernest

handy volume which ought to be serviceable to
the amateur. Half Of the broad page is devoted
TO the text, which deals with the things In
nature opposite TO the date. The other half Is
left blank for the reader 20 enter his own OBJ
servations. The best quality of the book Is the
conciseness with which Mr.. 1ngersoll has ar
ranged his data. He has not much space to
himself. but he uses it with such Judgment that
his calendar is, on the whole. toerably compre-
hensive There twelve good illustrations
