Ingersoll, Ernest. Wit of the wild. **$1.20. Dodd.
Mr. Ingersoll’s book “consists of a series of short articles on the characteristics and habits of mammals, birds and insects, written in various styles because they were originally written for various periodicals, but all interesting and reliable. The book may be regarded as a popular postscript to his excellent work on ‘The life of mammals,’ published last year, and is particularly adapted for school and popular libraries.” (Ind.)
“Interesting comparisons with man’s ways are the most unique feature of the book.” May Estelle Cook.

“Mr. Ingersoll can popularize without misrepresenting, and his chapters on some of the facts and factors of evolution are comprehensible to anyone, and yet so carefully worded that the most rigid scientist could not find fault with them.”
