Miall, Louis C. House, garden and field. $2. Longmans.
This collection of short nature studies by Professor Miall of the University of Leeds covers a multitude of subjects and gives a wealth of useful and interesting information upon fresh air, the dog, the cat, birds, bookworms, flies, trees, and whatever chances to attract his attention at the moment. The book seems to open our eyes to an interested observation of the things around us.
“It is packed with scientific facts, with clear and practical suggestions for class room and study club, and with eye-opening and thought-stimulating questions. No arrangement or lack of arrangement can destroy the value of the good sense and clarity with which these and all the other subjects are treated.” May Estelle Cook.
