“She has a great gift for telling stories.... There is no attempt at formal or systematic treatment; the author puts down her experiences and reflections, just as they occur to her, in an easy, natural way. A little overstatement does not appreciably detract from the value of her charming and enlightening book.”

“The mere data contained in this work is wonderful. The method of chatty and sympathetic treatment is even more to be admired.”

“The book begins with an introduction in which are briefly discussed: Linnaean species, Jordan’s species, variation, mutation, discontinuity of species, the work of Mendel and evolution theories. Later chapters are largely given to a fuller discussion of the topics here introduced. The first half of the book is rather elementary.... Natural selection, evidences of evolution and ‘biometry’ are treated in detail.”—Science.
