Thewhole intent of the method is to incite to a studyof the animals themselves—the matter in the bookdirecting attention, arousing interest, and servingas a guide to observation. An endeavor has been made to present thepleasant side of animal life. To this end theaffection, the intelligence, and the uses of ourservants and fiiends have been dwelt upon, andideas of violence have received but a passingnotice. That we should be kind to animals is anecessary inference from observed relations, andthis obviates the necessity of a formal exhortationor a cut-and-dried moral. As a reader, this book is designed to supple-ment the regular reader of the grade. Commonand familiar language is used, but no effort hasbeen made to reduce the expressions to baby-talk,or to construct haltino^ sentences with words ofthree or four letters only.
