THE CANADIAN NATURALIST.

A SERIES OF CONVERSATIONS ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF LOWER CANADA.

BY PHILIP HENRY GOSSE,

COR. MEM. OF THE NAT. HIST. SOC. OF MONTREAL, AND OF THE LIT. AND HIST. SOC. OF QUEBEC.

This volume is the result of a residence of several years in Lower Canada, and contains brief and popular notices of subjects in the different departments of Natural History, not systematically arranged, but as observed by the Author when wandering in the fields and woods. Some of the more prominent phenomena of natural philosophy; the habits of quadrupeds, birds, and insects; the general appearance, time of flowering, &c. of plants, are briefly described in the form of dialogue, interspersed with characteristic anecdotes; embracing the course of the seasons throughout the year, and presenting to the reader a picture of the face of nature in that interesting country.

“Were we to attempt to make extracts to show the beauties of this fascinating work, we should reprint the whole. We have rarely met with information so delightfully conveyed, and in so small a compass. The illustrations are worthy of the letter-press, and this is giving them no small praise. The ‘Canadian Naturalist’ will be as popular as White’s Natural History of Selborne.”—Church of England Quarterly Review.

“The volume, however, has the great merit of reality; its materials are drawn direct from nature; there is also about many parts of it a peculiar charm, which reminds one of White’s Selborne. The pages are embellished by pictures of trees, animals, insects, flowers, &c., that to the ordinary merit of beauty of execution join the rare quality of distinctly-expressed character.”—Spectator.

“We have seldom seen a work so deeply imbued with the same acuteness and accuracy of observation, and healthful tone of feeling, as the one now before us. It is replete with information, interesting not merely to the naturalist, but often to the agriculturist, and the political economist.”—Christian Remembrancer.
