“You see
what a beauty
she is.”
ALL wide-awake young people who are attracted by the living things about them will find Miss Patterson’s simple story very delightful. It will open to them a new and fascinating avenue of investigation. The structure and habits of the spiders are all but unknown to most of us, and we are apt to regard them as objects to be avoided. But her book makes an apparently grewsome subject inviting, and will draw them into a new field of much interest. Bruce Horsfall, that sympathetic artist of nature, has drawn a frontispiece in color, and very many pictures for the text, which reveal some of the wonders of the spider’s life, and make the narrative doubly interesting. The whole is within the comprehension of a child, and yet is so accurate that it may be trusted to state nothing which the facts of science do not warrant.
