OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Bell's Weekly Messenger.
"Its purpose is to tell both young and old, but especially the former, how much of interest there is in everything connected with nature, its resources and productions during the progress of the year, and how, month after month, animals, insects, trees, shrubs, flowers, and even weeds have their several functions to fill, and the manner of their doing so.... The illustrations, which are numerous, greatly increase the value of the volume."
The Observer.
"The Circle of the Year is essentially a book for the country. The townsman may indeed read it to profit, but it will assuredly raise within him a hankering to be out in the fields, wandering along the green lanes among the trailing hedge-flowers, or attempting to realize the curious fact that a lily of the valley is first cousin to an asparagus."
The Berwick Warder.
"It is a healthy and vigorous work, which none can fail to profit from."
The Border Advertiser.
